Looking for size of copper washer

[JLH911]

I searched, but I could only find the part number for the flat copper washer that are used on the fuel lines for the fuel filter on a 1FZ-FE engine. I don't have a new filter yet, but I'd like to have some extras on hand.

I have about 20 of the fuel filters in stock. I can measure for you in the morning. I’d be curious if they weren’t the same size as the brake banjo bolt washers

Thanks man....I've read that some have lost some washers as they're installing them because of the cramped spot the filter resides in and that's why I wants some extras.

Actually I think more people double them up because they don’t realize they are still stuck to the banjo fitting in the hose.

Damn Joey, I wish I lived closer to you. I'd love to listen over some beers to everything you know about cruisers.

I just changed my fuel filter earlier today. I thought I lost one of the washers, but luckily it had fallen up my sleeve while I was up under the truck. It’s easy to lose them for sure. Good job planning ahead, I didn’t.

So, are the washers that come with an OE fuel filter made of Aluminum? I know you have it listed that way, but I've heard some are copper and am wondering if the type of metal used matters with the application here.

The washers on mine were aluminum.
I’d guess as long as it crushes to seal, and dosnt react with whatever it’s sealing in, either would work.

I'd venture a guess that it depends on the year. I have seen copper fuel washers on LCs before but every 1FZ I've touched has been aluminum.
