Apr 2011 at 10:07 Unlikey to be a big enough leak to be visible TBH. Injector block could be possible... The 1,3,5 block was fitted "out of the box" except for the nozzles... Perhaps the large inlet/blanking plug isn't sealing properly

Apr 2011 at 11:51 I reckon it's injector block. Tightened nozzles, removed and refitted blank plug, loosened and retightened feed pipe. Still same. Odour comes from that area as soon as switchover to gas

Strange... Definitely no leaks when we calibrated it last weekend... I checked all of the front end thoroughly after the leaking tank valve knocked my confidence a little Embarrassed

Can only suggest a bit of very soapy water (instead of the crappy leak detector spray) around the joints and check the pipes (including the injector pipes) for any sign of a leak Undecided

Don't know your system .. but could you unplug each gas injector in turn and see if it is just one feed from the injector to the head ??

I know this would cause a missfire on each in turn .. but might narrow the search down ???

I expect the leak, and very small it must be, is in the feed to the injector block... I would expect there to be some misfire symptoms if it was after the injector Undecided

Mind you... He could use the software to switch off the injectors on that block to see if that eliminates it Wink

If it does then we know that it's the injector pipes leaking, not the feed to the block Thumbs Up!

Oh yes

But then we had another fiddle and... ...no, I shouldn't say such things when GayBoyGixer is around Grin
