Thanks.

regarding fuel pressure, as I understand it the high pressure is there to enable pre-injection, for knock reduction; high atomisation and so efficient burn.

Of course generating such pressures takes power and this engine is aimed at economy- so the pump has an ECU- switchable extra piston for high pressure. So the fuel pressure isn't just engine speed dependent, the ECU will drop it at low loads.

I'll try the circuit as-is to start with.
