Fuel Injector Leak. HELP!

[mikegoobs]

I smelled something smoking today after driving my m1009 and low and behold there was fuel leaking onto the header from one of the fuel injectors. How do i fix this? is there some sort of seal there that needs to be replaced? Help me. And if there are seals that need to be replaced where can i get the part and is there anything special that i need to do to replace them.

Is it leaking from the return line?? if not you could remove the injector and clean the threads and reinstall. I'm not aware of any seal on the injector inself.

Is the injector loose, is the fitting loose, is the line cracked. You need do do a little investigating.

I checked the rubber hose that goes to the other cylinders and that was fine and made sure the fitting was tight and it still leaks. I thought it could also be leaking out from the glow plug but it was nice and snug. Wiped everything down and went for a test drive. Definetly leaking from the injector.

You will need a 30MM deep socket for the injector, remove the line fitting and return hose, clean off around the base so nothing falls in . Remove injector clean base and head and reinstall.

It is supposed to have a copper alloy gasket at the base part #14025557.

There should be a copper seal ring on the injector or in the hole. One of mine was missing. I bought an install kit and new injectors so I have a spare set of copper rings.

Its a 30MM? Its not a standard size? Im kind of stranded with no tools right now and im having my pops bring me some. Thanks a lot. I was just going to have him bring me a set of standard deep sockets

What did you need in the install kit? Isnt it pretty straight forward? What does the install kit have?

The part number #14025557 is the GM part number correct? Do you know if napa carries it?

 

[ralbelt]

Yes thats the GM #, I do not know if napa carries it. I would think you could get a standard socket to do the job, I do not know the equivalent to 30mm.

i think that this is the right part number for napa. It comes as kit. Dont really know why it comes with 10...
