Best injector return kit
Hello All! I hope this finds you all healthy. After 10 years of driving my old ambulance, I'm just so tired of fuel leaks. Recently I tracked down some hardline leaks between the engine and cradle, and further up the frame where the line rubbed against a bolt head... (One I bronze braised, the other I spliced with a brass compression fitting).
But these crazy return caps/hoses are driving me nuts!!! I've switched to using Viton o-rings, but they don't seem to last any longer than the rubber ones. And the hose gets brittle within just 4-6 months! I literally have to replace these stupid things every 6 months or so...
So, where do I find a better product? What have you found to be the BEST? I don't mind paying more, if I can just go a year between leaks! It SHOULDN'T be that difficult...
Thanks guys

If you really want bulletproof you can do billet rails

You only have to buy them once.... Most times when you see problems with the standard kits it's not the kit but uneven injector placement(s)

Thank you very much for the replies! I'll check into those options. That rail system looks interesting. Worth the money, if I can't get a decent kit to seal up.
Thanks again for your help fellas!

I remember several years ago someone said they were making some, but no, I've never seen them. I thought it was a neat idea, but since you can re-use the plastic caps, I figured the brass ones wouldn't be any advantage in regards to leaks. But at least they wouldn't get brittle and break off over time! Maybe even use without clamps?
