[01 Escape] HELP! I’m an idiot. Pulled fuel injectors and one didn’t seat properly. Gas is ALL OVER intake manifold, engine, and below. how to clean?
Post Body

Yep you read the title correctly. Something didn’t go right when I put the fuel rail and injectors back on, something didn’t seat all the way, or an O-ring fell off and I didn’t notice.

Either way, when I went to crank over the car to cycle fuel back into the line I heard a huge WHOOSH and then fuel dripping onto my garage floor...

Of course I had already re-installed the air intake manifold and everything. So no fuel got down in any openings, but when looking into the engine bay... I can clearly see tons of fuel.

How the heck do I clean up all this fuel so my car doesn’t start on fire from the evaporating fumes getting hot from the engine?

I have Gunk engine degreaser, would spraying that around the gas soaked areas and rinsing it off with water be enough?
