I still have some fuel weepage but no longer from the top of the fuel filter. I need to replace all fuel lines. I know that more than a few of these are original.

You and toddyvol are welcome.
If you get the chance, replace the fuel lines with what you can buy here, using the buy parts button.
The crush washer can be any material that is impervious to diesel fuel and can form to the housing when torqued a bit. Aluminum works as does a composite gasket I bought at the local hardware store, a number 30 cap thread gasket, #35566B, outside diameter doesn't matter. The one I drew arrows to came out of that plastic bag, it's gray in color.
The epc the dealer uses is better than the one available to us, but is just as confusing, so it seems.
