My GQ 93 has a VE type diesel pump. What year did GQ start to introduce in-line pump? What is the advantage using In-line pump over VE type ?

It is the other way around....
In line pumps are older technology, noisier, bigger.
VE pumps where introduced with GQ model in 1988 with the introduction of the 4.2 diesel engine.
VE pumps are smaller, more precise metering, quieter and lubrication and cooling is via the fuel itself.

It took Europe and Japan a long time to catch up with the British and see the advantages of the rotary type fuel pump. CAV I would estimate/guess had the rotary diesel fuel pump out 20 years before Bosch with their VE style pump. Some good things come out of the UK, just few and far between drinks.

Isn't it strange that the "Inline Injection" style of diesel engines are on the way back!
Take the ZD-30, it's not a VE, it's not Inline, but it has only one pump and 5 injectors!
I like the BMW direct injection unit.. A high-pressure injector, a high-pressure pump and a common-rail... Very nice technology.
