RE: [alfa] Damaged SPICA injector pipes?

["John S." <roadtrip999@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Shawn -
Sounds like you've got a few leaky connections. The fuel pipes are pretty 
tough, but you don't want to go bending them up or they won't fit right. 
Keep in mind that each time the injector fires, it only shoots a tiny amount 
of fuel . . . so any leakage in the pipes or connections will likely starve 
the injector. Also, remember that the injector fires at 350-400 psi, so you 
don't want to be putting your bare hand down there looking for leaks. 
Chances are the leak will be pretty well atomized under that much pressure. 
I'd recommend that you loosen and retighten the fuel pipe nuts. If you need 
to very gently and slightly, bent the pipe back to the fitting so that very 
little force is necessary for it to be held in position by the nuts.  Some 
antisieze compound will make them easier to get off next time also.
