Help! Can't find injector O-rings for my '88 XJ
1988 Jeep Cherokee, 4.0L, MPI. 138K miles.
I'm totally scr*wed. Superbowl Sunday I had a small leak where the
fuel rail connects to one of my fuel injectors. I called all the local
auto part stores (5) and found one that said they had the o-rings. I
picked them up, pulled the injectors and the fuel rail and put the new
o-rings on. (many of the old o-rings just snapped coming off the
injector)
So far so good, but when I tried to put the injectors back into the
fuel rail, they won't go. I really gave it a good try, then I decided
to take a look at the old o-rings. It turns out that my original
rings come in two flavors. A slightly larger one for the injector to
engine seal and a slightly smaller one for the injector to fuel rail.
Unfortunately, the new rings only came in one flavor, the slightly
larger one.
Today (Monday) I had a friend with a working car pick up a new set
from my jeep dealer, part # 83503637. Guess what, they only have the
slightly larger size in their kit as well. My dealer said that this
is the only o-rings they have. In his look up, he said that the seal
kit was susposed to have two types of o-rings, black and brown, but
the actual packages only have one type.
Can anyone point me to a source for the o-rings that go on the fuel
rail side? Is my dealer just too stupid to look up the part
correctly? Is my XJ going to be mothballed because of an $0.89
rubber ring? If I can't get the right size rings, can I use a
gasoline resistant RTV instead? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Hi liam,
Tell the Stealer to give you the rest of the set as pictured:

Nope, the only thing that will work is a nice new, live fuel rail
"O" ring.

Re: Help! Can't find injector O-rings for my '88 XJ
I did this same job five weeks ago and all is ok. I used the dealer set (13,
all black).
Just be sure to wet the oring and hole on the fuel rail with
petrolatum(vasoline).
If I recall, the retainer clips are installed on the rail and then each
injector is inserted until it snaps in place. - Joe
