Injector leak off pipe

Post by Alan Gunn » Fri Apr 13, 2018 8:35 am

Sorry i have put this in the wrong section but can't remove.
I had a small leak on one of the injector leak off pipes so i ordered some new pipe.
Went to change it today and the new pipe leaks as well.
It is 3/8 pipe a standard size i thought but it was weeping where it pushes onto the injector.
All i had to do the job now was some silicone pipe thick stuff but a nice fit and no leaks.
My question is.
Is this silicone vac pipe ok to use on the injectors ?.
Anybody got a link to some normal pipe slightly smaller than 3/8 if that is possible.
