You're right. Now help me out.
This thread is not a technical question thread, it is a parts procurement question thread that involves a Squareback. Where shall we put it, I will defer to your decision.

Well, being it deals with a Square my first thought would be the type3 section. Then again we're talking about type1 injectors so maybe the type1 section. It could get lost in the mostly inactive type3 section. Maybe it could go in the type2 section since we're talking about a typeIV engine. Or possibly Free Speech because using fossil fuels with fuel injectors could lead to global warming.

Does that help?

I'll defer to Hambone.

You guys are crazy.
"Place" it where appropriate. Type3, good enuff. We just have too much fun in these AUSTERE technical forums.
Thanks for the injector link. We did replace/test all of them, but a couple did appear to be leaking from the seams. Maybe it was just drip-down from bad fuel lines, who knows. It was a tired late Friday, I need to do it again in the bright light.
See, this is pretty damn technical stuff. + jibber jabber + my wife distracting me in the background with subtle mockery. SEE? Yeah type3.

Just trying to lighten the mood. It's been a bit too serious 'round these parts lately.

BTW Hal was right. The injectors weren't leaking, it was loose hose clamps. Yep. Shoddy latenight mechanincking.

If you have a leak at the original crimp collar hose-to-injector, you can fix it. Just cut the crimp collar off, replace with new hose and the usual fuel hose clamp.
If you have a leak between the plastic-steel interface, I have never seen such a thing ...

Your injectors did NOT have the original crimp collars holding the hoses on them?

The attached hoses were too short and brittle. I had to cut off the connectors and use new hose.
