as previously mentioned, yes, there is supposed to be a crush washer,
part number is 0009970048, also part number 0039975848 might be the
rubber o ring.

Still trying to resolve the problem of my leaking spin-on fuel filter. To summarize:
Car is a 1983 300D. Fuel is leaking out around the top of the "hollow bolt" in
the center of the filter flange.
The hollow bolt has two o-rings on it. There is no crush washer at the top of
the bolt but it looks like maybe there should be.
I could not find a crush washer in the right size locally, so I tried a fiber
washer. The leaking was worse, but the fiber washer was fairly thick compared
to the typical crush washer.
Harbor Freight has a set of nitrile rubber metric O-rings that I'm thinking
about buying. Someone on the list suggested that the fuel filter should come
with new O-rings, crush washer, or both. Rusty says none of them do that he
knows of.
I currently am unable to drive the car because the fuel leak is that bad.
Questions, can anyone answer with certainty:
a) there *should* be a crush washer at the top of the hollow bolt?
b) would the harbor freight nitrile o-rings hold up OK to diesel fuel (I
don't run bio-d)?
Thanks,
Allan
