good to hear you are making progress ! very good.
did not want to scare you on Banjo hell I call it but is important to know going in, those rims on the banjo's are only 1/6" wide and if rust happens big big trouble.
I greased mine after at and after assembly to not ever see rust there.
yes I thing the filter from suzuki comes with 4 new copper washers, as the old ones will crap, one can mill those old ones down too by hand sure can, done many in pinch even deep in the woods, one leaking. copper is easy to hand mill, soft metal and I see you did and bravo that !!!
when any filter is pulled, we dump the contents to a pan.
we can see this.
1: just gas.
2: gas + rust dust
3:gas + rust huge chunks
4: gas + red fungus. yes, that too happens if tank is full of water and car parked in the rain, no gas cap on car. nasty this is and very hard fix.
we call those SIGNS! (if true the filter packs up again)
the injector has 10micron filter "screens" that way smaller that a good 40micron fuel filter, so those can packup too.(injector)
These old cars love to rust the top of tank, and even collapse. for sure snow on top full of road salt from the rust belt.
I see you are on TRACK with 2 gaskets, now that is the way to go, going in.
cheers to you .
