Leaky Injector Connector

[Funracer]

Look at the difference between one (very wet) and two(bone dry).
I have taken the fitting apart twice and cleaned and reseated, still seeping.

Is there supposed to be an O ring or seal in there?

Thanks

Swap injectors. Maybe you need a new injector.

From the picture you had posted, the fuel line to the injector is not properly oriented. You could see that it is going to the fitting at an angle. Loosen the fitting and re-align the metal fuel line. This is a compression fitting and relies on good surface to surface contact. Keep us posted.

Are you sure the leaking is coming from the fitting?

There's an O-ring on the injector which seals it against the housing.

I also guess it simply comes from the Fuel line thread which connects to the injector.
If the fuel really would come up from the injectors outlet upwards through the manifold and the injectors seal .... then then valve would be permanently closed to make this kind of closed chamber that overflowing till the fuel gets squeezed out of the injectors sealing ring

Swapped injectors and now neither is leaking so I am leaving well enough alone.

Thanks guys
