Heh... Fuel system failure really sucks and can be dangerous. I had at least half a dozen failures with my 8 injector setup after I first got it working. The trick is to do all the test driving as close to your garage as possible, bring a large fire extinguisher or two, and all of the tools needed to rig the thing to get you back home if you need to.

On my first test drive (the worst failure) with my 8 injector setup I drove to the hardware store, and less than a 1/4 mile from the store one my secondary fuel rail moved slightly causing the fuel injector to fall out! At least I didn't loose it completely, it was still hanging from the wiring harness. I smelled the fuel and immediately shut the engine down. Luckily I was very close to the hardware store so I was able to buy some NPT fittings, hose clamps, and some extra fuel line. After about 15 minutes of roadside repair, I bypassed the secondary fuel rail and made it home with the stock injectors. I learned the hard way that you need very beefy brackets for that secondary fuel rail.
