weeping injectors
Rig: 1990 E-350 Ambulance. 7.3 IDI with a E4OD.
Problem: The two injectors closest to the firewall in my rig seem to have small leaks. The fuel weeps from the base of the injector to the galley where the glow plugs sit. NAPA sells an injector o-ring kit, Part Number: FPG ES70599, by FEL-PRO. Does anyone have first hand experience with a particular brand of injector o-rings? Or all commercially available kit from any of the big brand stores will work about the same?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes, but i would get a pack of 25 and do all 8 injectors. There are two 0-rings per injector. While i was at it, i would replace all of the rubber lines between the injector caps too. If i remember right, there are 1/4" and 3/16" variations, but i dont remember which years are which. I want to say later models are 1/4"
If you dont want to piece the stuff together, you can get a kit. Diapco makes one which is supposed to be the better, comes with new caps (plastic parts) but rubber o-rings, which dont last like the viton.
