Best Answer

the fuel is pumped from the gas tank into the "fuel rail" and the gas stays there until you start turning over the engine to start it. the fuel injectors take the fuel from the "fuel rail" and spray it into the cylinder which then gets ignited by the spark from the spark plug. so if the injector is leaking or not functioning the fuel will just flood into the engine if leaking, or not go into the engine at at all if its not working. the reason they went from carburetors to fuel injection is so less gas is wasted because the injectors only spray a precise amount of fuel.
