quick injector install question

hey guys i recently put my FIC 780cc injectors in and they were fine the first time i started the car but then one started leaking the next day. i think the o ring in the fuel rail ripped so i put the stock ones in which seemed stronger and the leaks are gone as of right now. the thing that worries me is how the injectors go into the intake manifold. because they dont have that clear thing at the tip that makes the o ring fit snug like the stock injectors it just seems way too loose. why is this?

Not sure what you are talking about where it meets the intake manifold. You should have used the rubber grommet seals that were there originally.

i thought FIC had those tight @$$ manifold seals made of some nasa strength materials?
If not buy that extra kit from them. i hear wonders about it.
My PTE's arent leaking, but I might get that kit because I like the seals better and the PTE have those chauncey plastic tips on them.
