    Oreillys has the disconnects trust me I used one when I replaced the engine the 1st time in the black 4 door I have. And the injector orings has been a known problem for a long time.

    Ohh did I mention my Regal GS burned down in April and Im 110% sure it wasnt due to leaky valve covers or injecotr o rings being bad I have the rydell chevrolet repair reciepts that were done from the owner before me, which also was a factor why I got away not having to pay for the damages done to the garage when my car burned down.

    Showed the papers from Rydells to the fire department when they did the investigation and I was not held liable for the vehicle fire. Not caused by me nor was it negligence. Also the Fire department blamed it on a transmission line. I still 110% believe thats BS becasue the fire started and was the hottest behind the passneger headlight.

    Whats behind the headlight on the passenger side? Battery, and fuse box. Ive seen at least 3 W body fires, 2 other cars in a yard where I usually get some parts from both looked exactly like mine. Im blaming electrical on all 3 Ive seen but what the hell do I know.

    Wow... I feel fail... I completely missed this thread somehow and the other ones linked (which are failed links now)...

    Fortunately when my engine blew last year we put all new o-rings on top and bottom of the injectors... as the tech and I are perfectionists and didn't want any leaks.

    Unfortunately I just crested 95k and the fuel rails have been disconnected multiple times (LIM repairs, gasket replacements, new engine, etc...) and the Quick Connect O-rings have never been replaced... someone say a prayer until I get them changed .

    I haven't as of yet smelled gas or noticed any leaks and I'm always checking fluids and playing under the hood, so I would notice... altho I DID remove the SC Cover and Hood Insulator, so fumes would probably just dissipate before I ever even noticed them. I Need to look into this
