Copper crush washers...Bruno??
These are the ones for the fuel filter. Does anyone know if you can buy them separately??
Would crappy tire/nappa/etc have them???

you have another option as well, you can use Vinyl washers, they sell those at CT
I use them instead of crush for oil changes, work great

Would those vinyl ones work for the fuel filter? Aren't they kinda thick?
What section in CT are they in?

loudsubz, fuel is under pressure at 42 psi, vinyl washers - while they MAY work are NOT recommended, also I'm not aware of material compatibility between vinyl and gasoline.
vinyl works for the oil pan cuz... well, there is no pressure. I use the aluminium washers that the dealer charges 23 cents for... I figure rather pay 23 cents than have to dump $30 of oil when I have to change the washer after it starts dripping.

I use a copper washer for my oil plug. I have been using the same one for a while, because my old mechanic told me that it is resuable and is better than the crush washer that comes with OEM filters. Can someone give some insight on this ?

no crush washer is reusable, esp the copper ones!
that's also why you never reuse spark plugs once you've taken them out - the crush washer is done!
I know some ppl say you can reuse them, but they are wrong.

So what if you want to check if you're running lean/rich by looking at your plugs? You can't put them back in after checking?
If you look, there is a washer around the base, once it's crushed, it'd done for.
