direct common rail injection on diesels is ok till u get water in the fuel
once water gets into the rail and the rail rusts then in a hilux to fix it can be up towards 8000 bucks to repair
thats a 1/4 of the price of the car if its 2 or 3 years old
they run around 26000 psi fuel pressure in rail and when u get tiny water particles in the fuel and then in the rail the hi pressure pushes the water into the porous metal tube inside the rail

i wonder if this issue will be similar with the direct petrol injection too
