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
Another reason why I don't like direct injection.
