dj paul Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 do you need a special tool for this or do injectors just come like this? i cut up one of my old bad ones and couldnt really figure it out. when i redo my stuff this weekend i was wanting to replace the hoses because some of them are starting to look questionable. I couldnt find any info on this searching. I want an Oring style but i am just doing NA and have stock fuel management. anyways, i just need some help! lol. thanks in advance, paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj paul Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 ahh, found out the answer to my own question. Just got to cut the things off and use regular hose clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 WRONG...make sure you use FUEL INJECTION hose and FUEL INJECTION clamps...they completely surround the hose with a SOLID band...the serrated bands (screw type) will cut into the hoses and cause leaks. They are available from most auto parts stores. Also, when cutting off the existing hoses, they'll appear to be "glued" on (due to heat and age). Be sure not to cut into the barbed injector nipple itself. If you do, you may actually cause a leak by fuel passing through the slice after you're done...i.e., cut only deep enough to cut through the hoses, not deep enough to gouge the barb itself. Be sure use to reinstall the cups at the top of the hoses, it helps keep moisture out of the threads in the hose itself, thus eliminating them from rotting and weakening so fast. Just a bit of friendly advice. Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
