done did something stupid......

Rewind about two years ago. I decided to go to the dealer and get a new fuel filter. I did not however buy new washers or remember were they go. I was able to seal up the lines with a combination of different ones placed appropriatley. These washers generally work, but they leak every so often requiring me to tighten em up and reminding me to get the real ones. I decided last week to do just that. Today, I get under there and start working. Of course I cant get them to seal up for the life of me. I try this way and that way. I finally am getting very frustrated, and am able to get the leak down to a trickle. I think if I could just get it a little tighter, it will be ok. Did I mention the pump is running? Well in my stupidity, I touched the terminal at the pump with a wrench and the pump shut off. So what did I ruin? The pump or they relay? I knew it was a fluke when yesterday I replaced the motor mounts and it went very smoothly.
