Default injector fuel caps

My injector fuel caps are leaking on the passenger side just replaced lines orings and washers. I also tried putting washers on top of the caps but still seeping between the cap and injector. Running out of options

Did you lube the orings before you placed the caps

Putting them on dry like that will cause them to tear, and as far as the quality, I wouldn't use the orings that come with any of the kits haha, always use a high quality brand when I use new ones.

go to a hydraulic shop and get the new O-rings .. use motor oil and lube the junk out of them .. and the inside of the cap too .. they go together real nice that way .. i also use a Cigar cutter for the lines .. real nice cuts and its easy to replace ... mine is plastic with a angle blade... think i spent a whopping 1.99 for it...... .... (insert smart *** CRS comment here).
