Thread: Injector questions

You have the wrong injectors - your originals are 'tailed' - the new ones are for a plug in fuel rail.

EFI Hose Connections

CAREFULLY using a dremel remove the hardened rubber from around the metal collar of your old ones, and the collar comes off, revealing the barbed 'tail'.
Then you can use ordinary EFI hose to replace the 'tail'. (Re use the collar).
Measure the old pieces of rubber and cut replacements accordingly as the fuel rail needs to sit right. About a metre should cover everything from the metal in/out ends at the firewall and a hose cutter is very handy.

It's reasonably easy job - just fiddly.

dont tell me that!!!!!!!

Relax - I imagine that there are plenty of members who would like a set of new injectors for their Rangie or Disco.

To get your RRC back on the road, EFI hose ( and it's got to be EFI rated) is available most everywhere including Super c wrap.

does anyone have a part number for the correct tailed injectors?

Like these I believe:

If they physically fit your engine they should be fine. Try them and see.

They're good to go- whilst the nose of the injector is a little shorter, it won't matter as long as the barrel fits in the injector hole. Just be careful (As I can't tell from the photo) if you have to trim the tail. Too long, and the rail won't sit properly - to short and it's a PITA.
