Question on Fuel Rails and Leaking Injector
Just installed Speed Inc rails and I have one leaking fuel injector. Question is:
Do the fuel rails empty themselves of fuel when the motor has been off a while or do they stay full? I just painted my intake and don't want fuel spilling all over the paint. There is no Schrader valve with this setup, just feedline in the front and crossover in the rear. So is there a method to relieve pressure or am I just going to have to have a lot of rags handy?
thanks
Bryan

Yeah, I found that out too late!! I'm going to pull both rails and lube and reseat all the injectors.
