IIRC the "F" is the same as the "C" but has a Viton end seal instead of a metal one.  It
supersedes.

Only comment - "F" injectors, once used, should always be kept in fuel if removed from the
car.  Accurate measurements cannot be made once the injectors have been disconnected for more
than an hour.
