Fuel Line Connectors for SEFi Injectors

[stuartjk]

Thanks in advance.

OK, backstory, my 1.8 si escort has had a misfire since about July last year, finally decided to do something about it, changed a number of sensors, leads, plugs, tried fuel and oil additives nothing made a difference.

I have just recently changed the injectors plus rail (in the processes I found a warped gasket which could be the culprit).

Being used to the old EFi injector rails, I just pulled the fuel lines out of the inlet ports on both old and new(I got the replacement from the local scrappers off an engine that had 55k on with a bad head gasket for £10, couldn't say no), thinking they were just push fits, as appose to the skrew types of the previous generation.

To my surprise I found out I'd just snapped the factory sealed inlet connectors. I have a spare 1.6 EFi rail but do not want to start ripping injectors out of the rails unless I have to.

I've patched it up and it has made a difference to the performance but it is only a temporary meassure

Anyway my question is, is there any way I can provide a long term stable and sealed placement for the connectors I'd just ripped in 2?

PS, I think I'm just gonna stop driving when I can't get down the scrappers to fix my escorts any more cos they ran out.

Thanks
