Fuel leak from injector?

The-Wappy-One · Feb 27, 2010

Hi there

while fixing my electrical problem today i did notice there was a dripping on the pipes that come from the fuel injectors (black braided ones) and i've had these break befor due to lenght of time so i swapped it for a new one and noticed it still leaked. after cleaning up the fuel and then checking again it seams to be coming from the nut/pipe that goes into the fuel injector (the one the black braided ones are connected too).

can this be replaced or is it time for that injector to be replaced?

If ye mean the one on the side of the injector, try changin' the two copper washers (one either side of the banjo).
If ye mean the pipe that goes onto the top of the injector, then aye ye can buy a new pipe. Sometimes the nut gets threaded when put on squint, but it might be worth tryin' to see if it's just come loose and tightenin' it up a bit.
Ah take it yer engines been a little rough lately? If so, it'll be down to some air gettin' in by that leaky connection

Sounds like your copper washers are shot mate
