Sewell Lexus

Chose the o-ring (fuel pump) and order two of them. They have labeled it mistakenly as fuel pump ring, it is in fact the ring for the regulator.

so, i think i've found the problem. I found a crack in the washer that goes between the fuel pump and the filter. Anyone know of a parts car in the socal area. I'll look but I don't think that was is sold alone.

Need a confirmation also for when I re-assemble. The black washer is supposed to be assembled with the flat at the bottom like the 2nd picture right? I'm pretty sure the way it is in the 3rd pic (flat up) would be wrong. The flat looks down in the manual, but it's hard to tell.
