As said you need to give year make and engine.
Why are you wanting to know?
Injector problem or other problem?
Fuel rail type Fuel injectors take two O rings per injector.

One injector o-ring is broken and its giving a vaccum leak. I have to replace it, but before I take it apart I need to know about the o-rings.

2 per injector.
I would replace all O injector rings on that side when you have fuel rail off and consider other side to.
Good Luck

Each injector has two O rings.
One one each end.
One where it goes into intake and one where it goes into fuel rail.
All sme sise.
If you have 6 injectors get 12 O ring's
I always get two extra for a job.
In case One takes off or gets lost or damaged.
A little lube on the o ring and in hole where the go helps install them.

How many miles are on the injectors? You might want to get them rebuilt/cleaned while you have them out. Made a world of difference on my 3.1. :)

170.000 miles and the injectors look like new. We changed the o-rings and it drives very nice again.

hope you put the brown ones on the inside, black ones on the fuel rails!
