I got a new fuel rail a couple weeks ago and i replced th o-rings that go to the injector and fuel rail. well these stated leaking. so i replaced them. well today i pop the hood and it reaks of gas. i am leaking gas agian from the same spot.
i have to more rings. are these things universal for the most part? and why t they keep ripping?
what is the propper way to put them n so they don't start leaking after a while.

 

I think your ITR is telling you that the fuel rail you installed is a POS.


I've never had any problems with cutting the o-rings on the injectors as I put them in the fuel rail. I've always eased the injectors into the rail, taking care to make sure the o-ring isn't binding anywhere as they go in.


Why did you change the fuel rail in the first place?

 

i think i was just to rough whne putting the injectors back in.

got a new fuel rail in casue i am going to be running nitrous. its an AEM if that matters

 

i think your fuel rail is kinda tight, was this one the same as the 1st one?
see mine didnt have those problems , your injectors fit real tight on the 1st one you have. . i think i have some extra rings if you want em
try lubing them up with a little oil or WD40 or something to get em nice and slippery and they should go in easier.

i am gonna pick up some rings. moday night. they are pretty chap so i am just gonna stock pile them.

only one injector fits tight on this rail. they never leaked on the first fule rail. its just this one. the only time they leaked before was when i put teh stock one back on from breaking the other one.
i will just lube the hell out of it.

 

Make sure you coat the orings with white lithium grease before inserting them.
