Injectors that have been out of service for a long time will always leak, at least at first. This appears to be due to the O-rings "drying out" and shrinking. Often if you just leave them alone with gasoline in them for a few days they will seal themselves up. They may not be bad. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
