81 240D fuel filter bolt seal

My81 240D fuel filter bolt is leaking so I went to the local dealer to get a new washer. As usual they gave me the wrong size! Their computer said 14mm, but when I saw it I knew it was way to small so I had them find the next size up (16mm). It also looked too small but I got 4 of them anyway because they swore that this was the largest size ever used on anything. Well, when I got home lo and behold the 16mm was too small!! So, does anyone know the right size or part# for this washer? FYI-even the Mercedes filter doesn't come with a new washer.-Scott

Yes, crush washer is 18mm I.D. 21mm O.D. x 1.5mm thick.
The rubber "O" ring that fits on the bolt is 10mm I.D. x 14mm O.D. X 2mm thick.
I have successfully used a composite washer of the same dimensions I purchased at a hardware store.
