Default Fuel Injector Vacuum Leak

Replaced all the O-Rings today put a good amount of vaseline on the rings and now I have a vacuum leak coming from the 4th injector also the new O-rings were less of hassle putting in like they were smaller.

The Rings I bought

You may have torn one of the o-rings installing them.

As User may indicate if he sees this, an injector leak will very easily turn into a massive fire.

Question too much vaseline

too much vaseline this just may be it from what I read you just put a little gas on them to get them in.
