Subject:Fuel rail spewing gas
From:Bill Marshall

Hey folks,

Today I replaced the lame Tiico fuel rail with the A2 setup sold by
Vanagain/Ken Wilford.  His instructions were a tad light, but I followed
Matthew P's instructions and it went well enough.

All parts went in, and as I was warned the throttle body was laying against
the fuel rail.  I bolted it down anyway, and it wasn't easy.  When I fired up
the engine, it whipped to life and was doing great.  I went back to see how
it was doing and found gas spewing out of the rear most injector/rail
interface.  Oh great.

I tried to loosen the bolts to the throttle body and let it move a little,
but to no avail.  It is still spewing gas.  I can't work on it until friday,
so if anyone has had this problem or has any ideas for a solution please
write back.  I will pull it off and look at the seals, and see what else is
going on.  Meanwhile, I will spend all day tomorrow screaming and pounding my
head on the wall.
