I am not going to make excuses, suffice it to say I left a petrol can in the trunk of my car two days ago. I do feel like the horse's petoot, especially since I was opening it to start looking for the access plate. Again, I won't try to excuse forgetting it was there - I usually do not have such a thing in my car, and for whatever reason it was left there.
This brings me to the letter I assumed I would be writing a few days back. It turns out that indeed fumes are present after driving, and on inspection there IS an odor at the fuel rail. It looks like there is some dampness on one of the injectors, which I'll assume is gas since there is the odor and no dampness around the regulator.
When I put the fuel rail on, I started by trying to press evenly and straight down across the rail. Then I loosely put the two bolts in. I gradually pulled them tight, stopping to press down on the rail in the same manner. I honestly wasn't happy with the procedure, and felt an o-ring or two may not have seated completely (I looked at the injector bodies, and noticed a very slight but observable difference between adjacent injectors).
Obviously I could remove it and try to reseat, but thought I'd ask if anyone had a similar experience or advice on the procedure. I should say that during removal an injector or two came out of the intake, and a small amount of carbon fell in - I tried to carefully remove it with a q-tip. Thanks.
