RDCULS New Member 16 Member For: 17y 4m 14d Posted 09/08/13 06:03 AM Share Posted 09/08/13 06:03 AM Gday,I'm hoping for some help.I've fitted ID1000 injectors with the blue Top Hat adapters, into an Aeroflow BA/BF billet fuel rail.Problem is, the o-rings on top hats dont seat into the fuel rail far enough, so I have fuel spraying out from between rail & top of cap. Top hat o-ring sits about 1.5mm into the fuel rail.The purple Top hat adapter caps look only millimetres longer, so dont look like they will seat right into the rail either. ...and the standard long length tapered adapters (for 1/2 size injectors) are too long.Has anyone else run into this issue?Cheers!

RDCULS New Member 16 Member For: 17y 4m 14d Posted 09/08/13 08:45 AM Author Share Posted 09/08/13 08:45 AM Thanks guys. Yep my injector popped out also..must be the rail (plenty of id1000's getting around). Had a snort one on earlier with same problem.. Hoping this one would be trouble free. I'll see what I can do to fix it, or rail #4 on the way. The top hats give one more possible place to have a leak spring, but shouldn't be an issue if fitted properly (single piece 968's didn't leak though).Not supposed to be crooked but ended up like that as heaps of play.Still, I'll blame the rail not injectors.Thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same issue with a rail similar to that from injectors online. Get a name brand rail either process west or plasma man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen 2 car try to use them, both had pita fuel leaks that gave kn'headaches.It's one of those times you'd love to meet the genius who built it and clobber them over the head with the pos.
