Injector Pipes
What are Injector Pipes?
Injector pipes, also known as fuel injector lines or fuel injection pipes, are components in a vehicle's fuel system responsible for delivering pressurised fuel from the fuel injection system to the injectors in the engine. These pipes play a crucial role in the precise and controlled delivery of fuel to the combustion chambers.
The injector pipes are usually made of metal, such as steel or stainless steel, to withstand the high pressure of the fuel injection system. They connect the fuel rail, which receives fuel from the fuel pump, to the fuel injectors mounted on the engine. The fuel injector pipes transport pressurised fuel to the injectors in a specific sequence and timing, allowing for efficient fuel atomisation and combustion.

What problems can be caused by this part?
Fuel pipes have wet patches around them
There are wet areas around the fuel pipes, there is a strong smell of fuel around the area.
Car acceleration or performance is not as strong as normal
When putting your foot on the accelerator the car does not respond with the same urgency of acceleration. It feels like there is a lag between putting your foot down and the car accelerating, when it does accelerate it feels like a much slower change in speed.
Fuel smell from engine area
There's a strong smell of fuel coming from the engine bay.
Fuel consumption seems above normal range
The fuel gauge seems to be going down quicker than usual, the car is using more fuel when driving in the same way as before.
Engine is running rough
When the engine is running it does sound like it would normally, it can sound like it's struggling to keep running or produce strange noises that sound like it's not running in time with itself.
