    Volvo Penta 2006 8.1 fuel injectors (OSI-BF 375 HP) Rinker 282 Captiva.

    I would not use the auto ones unless your sure they supply at same rate. If new and old are installed in a test machine side by side and verify they supply the same amount of fuel. Otherwise you may wind up burning a whole in a piston
