Default Leaking fuel filter

Hey guys, just replaced the fuel filter in my 98 civic sedan and now have a leak. I noticed that one of the washers was missing but I couldn't find any proper sized washers locally so I replaced it with a bigger washer and it still leaks (well duh.) Can I use an o-ring temporarily?

Note- it is leaking from the TOP of the fuel filter, the banjo bolt.

You need to find the proper crush washers. Try Sears hardware.

Alright, thanks. I figured they should have come with the fuel filter considering they aren't re-usable but whatever. I've heard them called crush washers and pressure washers so I'm guessing regular washers won't cut it?
