Is there such thing as a edelbrock electronic fuel injection system for a diesel?

If so would it be a good idea to put it into a 6.2 liter chevrolet k5 diesel blazer how much power would it add and would it help gas mileage?|||No. The diesel is injected through a pump that is mounted directly to the block, and is powered by the rotation of the engine, and is timed. Think timing gears. An eletronic injection system would have to use timing sensors, and with the amount of vibration that comes from the 6.2 it would destroy it in short order, not to mention it would just beanother part to cause intermittent problems making a diagnosis harder. There is nothing wrong with the setup they have now. The injector pump creates a lot of pressure, and the pressure is adjustable. But you can put it too high very easily. A properly timed and adjusted injector pump gives great mileage. I get 17-25 mpg's with mine. Check it out in the link to my photobucket page. The way a diesel is injected is not the same as a gasser, think power-washer versus aerosol can. Diesel is under high pressure, that creates the heat that ignites the atomized fuel, where as a gas engine uses a spark to ignite the fuel air mix. I learned everything about diesels working and building mine, the same with gas engines, and diesels are by far easier to work on.|||No, I don't find any such listed in their lastest catalog. You ought to try looking on their website at www.edelbrock.com.
