sorry to bring this up again, I went to the local efi guy got the new rings, and it still leaks fuel, what else can I do? could the injectors themselves be faulty??, it runs ok but it's getting really wet, into the connectors and everything.... anyone??

You can try this , it worked for me. Buy some aviation form-a gasket. It's in a little bottle with a brush. Loctite also sell the same stuff , but under a different name. This stuff is fuel & water resistant , so it's good on water pumps too (it never sets , just stays 'gooey'). Paint the o-rings in this stuff , re-assemble and that should be it. It should help to preserve the o-rings & seals for a longer life too. If you have trouble finding this stuff , let me know.

Just be careful not to get any on the injector nozzle , as this stuff is almost impossible to wash off.

I just got some aerospace fluorosilicone rubber, it cures just like silicone &is fuel resistant too and it'll fill any gap, so I'm using that, trouble is i've got to go back to the shop i got it from, its expiry date was 30-04-04, that's one month, for $80 i was expecting a bit more, the guy said no problem bring it back, i'll give you a newer batch.. :x

thanks for the idea tho'
