Unlikey to be a big enough leak to be visible TBH. Injector block could be possible... The 1,3,5 block was fitted "out of the box" except for the nozzles... Perhaps the large inlet/blanking plug isn't sealing properly :-/

I reckon it's injector block. Tightened nozzles, removed and refitted blank plug, loosened and retightened feed pipe. Still same.

Odour comes from that area as soon as switchover to gas

Strange... Definitely no leaks when we calibrated it last weekend... I checked all of the front end thoroughly after the leaking tank valve knocked my confidence a little :-[ :-[

Can only suggest a bit of very soapy water (instead of the crappy leak detector spray) around the joints and check the pipes (including the injector pipes) for any sign of a leak :-/ :-/

Don't know your system .. but could you unplug each gas injector in turn and see if it is just one feed from the injector to the head ?? 

I know this would cause a missfire on each in turn .. but might narrow the search down ???

I expect the leak, and very small it must be, is in the feed to the injector block... I would expect there to be some misfire symptoms if it was after the injector :-/ :-/

Mind you... He could use the software to switch off the injectors on that block to see if that eliminates it ;) ;) If it does then we know that it's the injector pipes leaking, not the feed to the block :y

My icecream man thinks I've died - 2 days running he's stopped at end of my drive, and I've resisted...
