All diesels that run on diesel fuel have injection. Its how they work. The fuel gets injected just before the piston hits top dead center. Injecting diesel fuel before this time or mixing it prior to induction into the cylinder produces a phenomenon called nailing which is similar to a knock in a gas car.
