Have a nice set of DJet injectors, fresh from Witchunter. Want to start the top end fuel line/clamp/injector/seal install where it's warm - my basement.

So, the injectors are plastic packaged with some sort of fluid apparently keeping them protected. But, there are no protective caps on the bottom.

I want to start putting together the whole setup of lines/hoses/injectors in a warm clime, so it's all ready to go come March (or April). My only concern is protecting the bottom ends of the injectors from contaminents (it's 30% humidity in here, so I don't worry much about corrosion!).

So, any ideas on caps for the bottom ends? Anyone have some laying around collecting dust?

The pintle plastic cap is to protect the pintle ... much like a needle .... from getting jamed into the body or bent. They are replaceable.

So, you could just get some tube end condoms of an appropriate size and slide it over the pintle caps. Hopefully the ID of the condom is sufficient to pull off and on without pulling the pintle cap off the injector. The mineral oil or whatever oil they are shipped in should provide for sufficient lubrication to accomplish this.

BTW .... the inlet has a microscreen in it to fine filter the fuel. This needs protection from contamination of loose particles from the new hose your gonna want to attach.

or

You could just open the top of the bag, slide the injector out far enough to attach the hose, pinch the bag around the injector and secure with a rubber band to prevent fluid leak.

Thanks - excellent ideas!

Hell, I'm using Fleet glycerin on my rubber parts - may as well take this whole thing into a bodily function arena!

Damn Pat, I know you are a CW but with your colon too?

I like the first idea better...

If you rub them hard. They will flow more.

They did my CIS injectors for my OldVo - matched the 8 I sent them into an almost perfect set of 4 +/- 1/2 % and the other 4 are within 2 %. Car runs great!
