The cool part is that they feed in high, really high pressure diesel fuel. Something like 30,000psi. This is why the injectors are HUGE and they are run by the aux oil pump. No need for spark with this kind of pressure combined with the compression ratio.

Check out the diesel at the bottom. 5.6Million lb/ft torque.
