Hello All,
I started my car yesterday, and could smell gas. I discovered a leaky injector. I have extra new seals for each injector. Can you give me any advise for replaceing the seals? Thank you. |

leaky injectors could be from the plastic to metal joint, if that is the case you need a new one. If however it is the rubber hose, that can be replaced. OEM injectors have a semi permanete crimped hose clamp. This crimp clamp can be carefully cut off with a hacksaw/tin snips and then the hose replaced (use high pressure injection rated hose only) use a screw on hose clamp to secure.
Hope the fix is the hose, it is a cheap repair. PS be very careful when cutting the hose crimp clamp so as not to hold the plastic part in a vice, as the plastic part is fragile, and if torqued or otherwise upset, it may start to leak there. good luck. dave |
