HELP~!! leaking fuel rail

[vletnguyen]

i was cleaning fuel rail and moved one by accident. turned on car for the first time after hydrolock. the car turned on fine and the idle was a little sluggish. smelt gas so i turned off car. open hood and was was spraying out of the first injector. ask about it. people said open it and see if its gasket/o-ring. it was just that. the o-ring rubber piece was torn apart. went to order it (pick up monday) . and my mom said she has that at work. she brought home a bunch of orings. the same one in fact.
put it on and still leaking just less. but after a couple of tries another injector leaks.
help~!!

you should really use the toyota gasket/o-ring because the size has to be exact or else it will leak which you are experiencing. I recommend you wait until you get the toyota o-ring from the dealership...one thing you don't want to mess with is the fuel system...you can blow yourself up, very dangerous thing on the car in my opinion. Just wait until the o-ring/gasket comes in. Good thing the dealership near me had 1 o-ring in stock, :) so I was up and running a couple of minutes after I got it instead of waiting, :D well good luck with it and make sure you tighten down the bolts.
