Subject: Leaking injectors?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I was installing a coolant overflow bottle today, working right next to 
the intake manifold.  Kept smelling gas.  Then I noticed a little puddle 
inside the little depression formed by a modification I just added.  The 
new fiberglass didn't have any paint on it, so that is why I could see 
through it.  There was maybe an ounce of gas floating around in the 
bottom of the manifold.

Could I have been running so rich during my test run that  an oz of gas 
was left on the manifold walls?  Or could it be that it dripped through 
a leaky injector, even though I shut down by switching off the fuel pump 
in order to relieve line pressure?

I know some others have had problems with leaky injectors.  Does anyone 
have an idea for making them not quite so leaky?
