Abstract (en)

Internal combustion engines known as common rail share an integrated very high pressure fuel supply and protection from leaks may be provided by a monitoring unit which compares measured pressure with a threshold and signals leaks or potential leaks to applications programs and a fault memory. Under leak conditions the driver is warned, then the engine power is diminished for a period before being stopped altogether
