Fuel Filter Query

[madformotors]

Hi,
I'm going to change the fuel filter on my '88 Tasmin 2.8 (on the advice of my local garage). I see that it's a Bosch one so probably original - hence old. One thing I'm not sure about is the washers on the banjos - assuming the new filter doesn't come with any, should i be fitting crush or plain ? I can't tell what's fitted until i take the old filter off which i don't want to do just yet.
Thanks,

Ian

Plain.

Get several extras because they seldom seal first time. Not for me anyway.

I ended using the old ones again, new ones were rubbish, wouldn't seal.
Some people re-anneal them, heating and cooling and dunking in oil, I just popped 'em back in, sorted, no leaks

Right, that's useful stuff, I'll get some new one just in case, but try annealing the old ones if they don't work.
