0R1050
0R9348
0R9349
0R9350

10R1262
10R1306
10R8999

The incorrect O-ring seal will have a larger in inner diameter and will be not as thick as the 148-2903 O-Ring Seal. The incorrect O-ring seal will be loose on the nozzle case when installed on a fuel injector (Image 1).
The O-ring seals are shipped in a injector seal kit that is included with each injector (Image 2).
Using a 148-2903 O-Ring Seal, compare the injector seal kit to identify if there an incorrect seal. If there is an incorrect seal, replace the incorrect seal with a 148-2903 O-Ring Seal (Image 3).
