Since you helped me with the c.v. In the other thread I only have one question for you, I fixed the injector. What is the best way to clean the fuel that leaked onto the other parts in the engine bay, because even though the fuel is a few days old and probably evaporated I still don't want to let the car run long enough to get hot and have the chance of igniting.

the fuel will evaporate really quick. careful washing your engine bay, it can cause further problems. simple green automotive and some light water pressure works wonders.
