injector seals...

I had posted elsewhere that when I did my injector hose replacement I hadn't ordered seals and when I got it apart I realized mine were bad and it was the weekend and no parts stores had any replacements. So, falling back on "necessity is the mother of invention" I realized that if I cut the FI hose into short pieces, about the thickness of the seals that the ID was just right to fit tightly on the end of the injectors and the OD fit snugly in the intake manifold. I figured, at least temporarily this would allow me to get the car back up and running and, in fact, I never replaced them as the car ran fine with no noticeable vacuum leaks. So, I thought I would pass along this tip again.
