EFI...electronic fuel injection....there a a few different names for the various systems, but this is the simple basic way to describe both. Fuel be it either gasoline or diesel is pumped from the fuel tank through filters to get out any impurities into a manifold under pressures ranging from 20lb for a gas engine to 3000lb for a diesel engine. at each cylinder (on modern fuel injection systems) there is a fuel injector which opens electrically at the exact time or mechanically, to allow the pressurised fuel to squirt into the cylinder......like a spray can does.....its contents are under high pressure and when you push the button the contents are released under pressure.
