Cavitation would mean many things, including lack of lubrication.
Note the removal of the coating from one part and not the other.
That can mean the DLC coated parts have different surface tension characteristics with diesel fuel.... or contaminants like water... or...
Summer is nearly over... and I am now sitting around waiting for the failure reports to come in for the next iteration of the analysis.

Hmmmm... cavitation, if it occurred, could theoretically provoke a failure of the pump's HP section.
This is an interesting possibility....
