Unhappy ah...slight problem

I removed my fuel rails to get to my injectors, did all the release fuel pressure stuf sweet - ***.
That was last night, I get home from work today and the top of the engine is flooded with petrol along with a huge puddle under the car, the fuel had been spewing out the pipes that hook up to the rails, and theres another problem, the rails were out and the holes unplugged so it looks as though fuel has gotten into the primary inj holes.

so whats the worst case scenario here? if there is a heap of fuel in there am I gonna perform sum unflood the car procedure? or is this " oh sh*t u fu*ked up big time!!"

yowzaa.. well first off. you need to determine how much fuel sept into the rotorhousings. if there is an excessive amount.. you need to think of a way to suction it out (without using a shopvac or anything electrical) then go through the unflood procedure.

Buy some narrow tubing and suck the fuel out w/ a syringe. Then do the unflood procedure. The same thing happened to me when I had a bad FPD...no big deal. If you are really concerned about the fuel in the injector holes, just let it evaporate for a couple of days after sucking most of it out. It'll be ok.
