FIC injectors

Hi, newbie to the forum. Has anyone had problems with leaking Bosch 3 injectors from Fuel Injection Connection?

Last edited by Larry Melancon; 11-21-2018 at 09:49 AM. Reason: Had 2 sets fail. First set had # 5 leaking. Second set leaked at # 8 , both flooding the crankcase.

Have had mine in since June with no issues. I know it's not that long but they solved the fuel pressure slowly dropping I had.
FIC seems to be the most recommended place to get replacement injectors around here.

That's like asking if anyone has ever had problems with a used injector leaking.
Just call them up and tell them what's going on, I'm sure they will exchange it for almost zero dollars, if not zero dollars.

Installed first set and # 5 cylinder leaked. Returned original set and was sent another. After install, # 8 cylinder leaked, both times flooding the crankcase.

You may want to change the filter and check for contaminated fuel. Any injector will leak if you pump rust or debris into it.

That's it, i've been buying from FIC since a decade ago, always recommended them for my friends builds and my own, they are the best injector sellers out there, check other factors first, but when something like that happens to me, it's always a good time to upgrade several components!
Let us know how it went!
