The goal is to find the max pressure exerted within the chamber of the pumping piston. The amount of force is basically unlimited as the engine runs the pump and it will destroy the pump if it gets to that point of pressure. But I guess at this point I'm lost as to how to find that pressure...

Theres definitely more than 4500psi, tons of articles including straight from bosch say the pumps peak pressure is something around 20,000psi. If the pump couldn't keep up with the injector holes then I could see that but it is pumping so fast and hard that it shoves the fuel through at great...

I am trying to find peak pressure of a diesel engine injection pump.. It doesn't have to be exact but +/- 1000psi would be fine. The basic principle is the same as an engine. Piston goes up and covers a fill hole, once it is covered the only way it can flow fuel is through the injector, so...
