Ok, I just tested the fuel system for leaks. It took a VERY long time to get fuel in all the lines- I hadn't yet done the pushbutton fuel pump prime trick, so I must have cycled the key about 50 times. The system pressurizes nicely to 25+ PSI (my wife's not around right now to eyeball the pressure gauge for me), and then drops to 18-19, stays there a little while, and drops further a bit more slowly. 30 minutes have elapsed since I stopped, and we're down to 14 lbs. My #4 injector is leaking. 50-50 chance it was the same injector that was leaking before I did all the fuel lines. I kept the injectors all on the same side, but very well may have swapped them. So, I thought I had a seeping hose before all of this at that injector. Turns out the injector is likely leaking. This seems plausable, as another listee just mentioned he had leaky injectors. My guess is that this pressure drop is coming from this leaking injector- the tin below is VERY wet with fuel, and only the #4 injector is wet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
