I can sympathize, mine let go on a trip after I picked up some gas with MBTE in it, shortly after I got it running. The o-rings inside dissolved and were leaking gas. Fortunately I had a set of spares I'd picked up off a wreck, they got me where I was going, but started leaking too. Took about 200 miles before I noticed the smell. Lucky I didn't go up in flames. This was back before MTBE became widespread as a winter anti-smog additive. Cost me $50@ for new ones, but they've not leaked since and Denver has MTBE added every winter. The injector seals that RMMW sells are for the ends, seal air out, not gas in. You will probably need a set of those too, if they've not been replaced recently. No fix for injectors, they're sealed units. You can replace the hose if that's leaky, but not much else. Buy new ones, you'll be much happier. The originals were made back in the leaded fuel era and they didn't have all the exotic additives that they stick in the gas these days.
