Having Problems with leaking Injectors out of HKS rail

Alright i guess it serves me right for buying a rail off ebay but anyway i already had the HKS injectors and i bought the new rail and a aeromotive fpr. I redid all the fuel lines with s.s. and all the connectors. I have all of it hooked up but when i go to start the car i get gas just pissing out of my injectors where they go into the fuel rail. So when i put it all together for the first time seeing i had bought it off ebay i didnt know that HKS uses there own orings for all their rails. So i had order stock ones from the dealership in the meantime i went to auto zone and bought ones for a gsx and tried them and it leaked. So when i got the stock ones in and tried them they leaked. So i went online to HKS found out about their o rings ordered them at 10$ a pop. Got them in today 10/10 and still they leaked. I went online to vivid racing to their live tech help and made sure i did it right. I tried it every way whether it was right or wrong. Of the two ways they still leaked. i bought the adapters from slowboy racing they should be in friday so it should run atleast until i figure out what to do about the rail. If anyone has any idea on anything i just plan on buying another rail this time from a website and trying that.

You bought an ebay junk rail. It probably wasnt even machined for Evo injectors. Sorry man, live and learn.

HKS covers more than just the two auto's mentioned above. You should read and research parts before purchase. This forum has dispruved and pruven parts throughout. Use the search.

Can't spell "pruven"??????????proven????????proofin????provin? ????I give up....

It isnt that bad people! The only problem is that the factory O-rings are too "fat" arround and get pinched between the injector and the rail. THe solution is to got to Advance Auto parts, Find an O-ring that has the same inner diameter, but is slighty smaller outter diameter, buy 8 of them. Put 2 of the smaller O-rings on each injector, apply a very small ammount of oil arround the O-rings, and install. Problem fixed. Simple now, but not when you are at Topspeed about to get tuned. Which was what happened to me.

When I go home, I will get you the part number for the O-rings I had used. Very dirt cheap cost.
