Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Banjo bolt washers

[TBerkey]

Are there washers on top and middle of the connection on the fuel filter housing where the injector return line connects on the top of the fuel line to the lift pump. I am replacing the lift pump and was trying to loosen the fuel line from the top of the lift pump to make it easier to reconnect. I thought I saw something drop but can't find a washer. If there are washers does anyone have a part number or any idea where to get them. the Dodge parts department won't even talk about a 1995 Ram.

Thank you. I removed the bottom 12 mm bolt very carefully and there was no washer either side of 12 mm banjo. the 8 mm I know there was nothing on the top but I was not sure if I dropped a washer on the bottom of the 8mm. Nothing was leaking before. I see where Geno's shows the washers that go with the bolts but the 12 mm washers then show it is for 89-93 and 97-98.5. My bolts both have a machines ridge on the head of the bolt. did 94-96 possibly not have washers. I am thinking of ordering the bolt and washers they show because possible that is a slightly longer bolt.

Are there copper ones in place that are stuck to the housing?

Yes, you are right. They where stuck so tight I thought they where machined on the the bolt head but I can pick the off with some effort. Thank you.

Been there, done that. Had to tap them with a flat head screwdriver to unseat them. Glad I could be of assistance.

There are always washers on both sides of every banjo fitting.

You should replace them as they do compress and often wont reseal but a generic kit works great!

Or make them soft and mallabel again through reheating.
