1.8 BMC injectors

[JohnP52]

I have had the injectors refurbished and refitted by others but one is leaking from around the copper washer between what I assume is the injector itself and what I would describe as the turret which terminates with the banjo bolt for the spill rail. Is it OK to try and screw the 'turret' down a bit firmer? or better to remove it and replace the washer?

Try the first carefully - if it leaks replace the washers

Thanks Richard. I'm talking about the larger washer, 30mm diameter perhaps.

There's a good chance you have multiple crinkle washers down the hole. I thought I'd got all mine out, but then, after re-cehcking to cure the leaks, found three more under one injector and two under another.

The one you can see in this image?:

 

 

If so, that's the seal between the injector and the cap - the cap is removed to adjust the injector then put back.

 

You can tighten that up - slacken the banjo bolt on the spill rail first

Thanks for that Richard - it is the seal between the injector and the cap that is weeping. I will have a go at it this weekend.
