Fuel dampener?

I am having a real hard time with this fuel leak/ fuel in vacuum lines. My car will not start after changing out my injector seals. I replaced them, and then still had a small fuel leak, but didn't notice it until too late. Had a very small engine fire. Replaced what was needed (not much, but did redo the injector seals. I am not seeing any leaks any more, but I can not get the car to start. I am noticing a lot of fuel in the vacuum lines. I took out my 3 bar FPR and replaced with stock FPR, and replaced the fuel dampener with an extra. Still having a ton of fuel in the vacuum lines. What can cause this? Thought it was the dampener, but still same thing after replacing with old dampener that was working last time I had it on a car. How do we test a fuel dampener? I did have fine fuel pressure last time I checked it about 1 month ago before I changed out anything. Any help is very much appreciated.

Undo the vacuum line and plug it. See if fuel leaks out of the vacuum side of the damper. If that's the problem with the vacuum side plugged the car should start up right away. Easy check. Worked for me on my S2.
