Changing Fuel Rail and Fuel Lines Question

I had noticed that the fuel rail and all my fuel lines were rusty with a lot of corrosion on them. So I picked up a clean used rail and a nice set of used lines. My questin because I have no idea and never disassebled one of these before is, do I need to buy any rubber O-Rings or anything to attach this new set of lines, what keeps them from leaking? Thanks for any of your input

No orings needed. Only washers are on the pressure relief banjo. I reused mine a few times.

Ok, thanks for the input Brian! Is this something i can do myself in the driveway with hand tools? Or should I take it to my bud's shop and pay to have it done?

Piece of cake. I personally would do it in a garage where it's clean. You don't want anything in the system post fuel filter. If my external hard drive was working I'd get you the torque values. Maybe someone will chime in with them. Very important to follow correct torque settings.

22ft lbs on the high pressure lines, 18ft lbs on the rail and line hold down bolts.
