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.

I think the "O" rings are a better design than the crush washers. after while they gouge into the aluminium seat of the housing causing it to seal w/o a ton of force on the bolt to stop the leak. Charlie

How to edit photos
Thanks to both koya1893 and diesel911, I tried editing phots using both of your suggestions and they are equally impressive. Once again another man's knowledge is shared to help. I appreciate you guys!

Heating it softens it. With Copper it does not matter if you cool it fast or slow so just dunk it in water. There has been times at work when I took a round file and enlarged the hole in a Copper washer to make it fit. Sometimes it is also possible to stretch them a little by sliding them over a tapered Punch and using a Deep Socket to push down on them and enlarge the ID. None of the above works with Aluminum Washers.

on the E300 and i know your car is different (but just for the record)
let me say that the big FF doesn't have any O ring but the smaller pre filter DOES have one that slides up.. Phil just sent me 2 of these O rings w/my last order so i'm basically a happy camper |

Just wanted to bump and confirm the above information is accurate. The 14x19x2.5 is indeed good for sealing the top of the later two ring banjo bolt. Got my metric value pack from AutoZone, 6.99 was my local price. Now after a few miles of running, I have a dry filter head, and no wasted go juice on the ground.
