I smell fuel periodically and now that it has become cold in MI I notice this more often. I also see stains on my fuel rail occassionally so I do the math and determine from these visual clues that I need to replace my injector o-rings in the manifold and in the rail.
The procedure in the FSM looks easy but I am concerned regarding the direction it gives for the o-rings you receive from the dealership. The FSM clearly states you receive 13 o-rings; (12) for the injectors and (1) for the rail pressure regulator. However, the FSM continues stating that (6) o-rings are brown and (6) are black and these cannot be interchanged.
The part number I received is 83503637. There are (13) o-rings but they are all black and all the same size. Of course, the dealer arrived at this part by superceded part numbers but I wanted to post this to see if anyone here can verify if I have the correct o-rings.
I do not want to learn I do not have the correct o-rings after I remove the rail from the engine.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
