Suggestions for re-occurring leaking injector
On my 3.0 I have leaking injector that refuses to seal. I installed new o-rings, new washers, & new rubber seats on all 3 injectors on that side.
This helped for a few days, and then it re-occurred. I replaced the same parts again on this injector, sprayed all the grime away from the seat, cleaned the fuel rail with alcohol and q-tip. Put it back together and it was fine for a few days and it's leaking again. This is leaking from the top, like it's not sealed. When I install the injectors, I put gas on the o-rings and make sure the injectors rotate freely in the fuel rail. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Phil |
Maybe instead of gas on the oring, put some sort of lubricant. Who knows might not be seating all the way.

Ditto the other similar responses. I, too, always use a lubicant... oh, wait, thinking of something else.
Seriously though, I've always used high temp silicone on my injector seating/sealing rings for durability and seal. :great: |
I have both silicone spray lubricant and silicone sealer around. Once it quits raining around here, I'll give those a try. By the time I'm done, I'll be an expert at fuel injector removal :laugh:
Thanks everyone!! |
