If anything, its the opposite.
The "common rail" is a PIPE. In many respects this setup is far simpler than a conventional diesel.
At a very basic level, the only difference is that the injectors have to be remotely controlled.
And yes, I was working on "common rail" systems back in the 80's.
The difference in modern diesels is the precision of the injector, and the engine management systems controlling them.
Spot on Dazz.
