Help Leaking Fuel

Is there any sealant that can be used around the o-ring for the injectors. I just put in new lines, o-rings, and grommets and can see the fuel coming out.


ANY SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.

You probably tore an o-ring, did you lube them before you installed them? Take it apart and do it again, inspect all of the o-rings. I made the same mistake and damn near had a fire.

To answer your question, no, there is no sealant.

My suggestion is fix it right, don't take any chances with "maybe this will work" or this happens:

You shouldn't use any sealant around there as it may clog the injectors.
There is no need for it if properly installed. Make sure everything is flushed and check for cracks in the o-rings.
After installing the injectors and before bolting the upper manifiold, install a jumper (yellow connector on passenger tower)and check for leaks.
