They just create an area for the excess fuel to return back to the filter and the tank. Over time they can become brittle crack and deform, so even with new o-rings they still may not seal properly. I also changed the copper crush seals that go under the injectors. With the injectors out I cleaned em up and just checked that they were ok. Someone may want to correct me on this, but if your injectors have a lot of miles (100k+) on the you may want to replace them anyway.
