Default Injector O-Rings

I have a 1999 Ford F350 super duty 7.3 Hear is my problem. I replaced the injector o-rins back in Jan. as I was told they needed to be replaced as the truck was burning oil. well it worked until now . The truck started to use oil again so I thought I would check the injectors I pulled the injectors and found that number 1 and 2 the center o-ring looked like it was eaten up by something. the rest started to show wear on the center o-ring The top and bottom o-ring was fine. Can someone help me and tell me why the o-rings would go bad in just a couple months.

Probably weren't seated properly or there's something funky in your oil. What kind are you using?
