O-ring...or no 0-ring

[haywire4130]

I agree with bison, the green o rings are usually a fluoroelastomer material and not made for contact with fuel. I bought a bunch (i think they came 5 in a pack) of oem brown ones from gbody parts a few years ago when you could place an order from them and actually receive the parts.
For lube, if you go on amazon theres companies that sell synthetic o ring and seal grease for motorcycles (race tech and pro circuit are the comapnies ive used) they use it when doing fork seal replacements and it comes in a handy little jar. I put that sh!t on everything!

Always spray a little Silicone spray on the O-rings or anything else that doesn't slide on, like any type of snap on connectors, or where you put on your breather cover onto your MAF. That will make your life soooooo much easier . Here is an example of what I use. I go thru cans of this stuff. You'll push on that fuel ejector connection hard and not hear a click and later on it falls off, with this stuff...That wont happen

Many years ago, I worked for a well known manufacturing company and silicone spray was banned in the shop. The building occupied about 4 city blocks and the silicone screwed up the paint quality on the opposite corner of the shop.

I don't know what type of rubber is being used to make the O-rings, but natural rubber o rings will crack and break if use a petroleum based lube

We use Parker O-Ring lube at work ( GM manifold & fuel injector plant ) for machine repair work , but fuel injectors are lubed with a fine spray of mineral oil before being pressed into the the fuel rail ( GEN 4 ) . I work on this equipment .

They are tiny o-rings and delicate too. One is red, the other is black. SK18 and SK17 I am pretty sure. I got mine at O'Reilly. I think I used a wet fingertip of tire shine on injector o-rings and that worked pretty good too.

It's a 3/8" o-ring, and it was brown also just as the originals. Same as what was on there, no issues, installed today!

Well they are o-rings for fuel so that should not happen on these. Use vaseline always with fuel related rubber.
