NEED HELP FAST! Leaking Fuel Filter

So I was changing my fuel filter the other day and when I fired up the car, the bottom line of the fuel filter was leaking really bad. So I tightened up the flare nut as tight as I could but no success. Now when I got the filter it came with the 2 large crush washers for the banjo bolt and one other small one. However I didnt install the small washer. I figured since it was a flare nut, it didnt need it. Figured it was for another car the filter also fit. I was also afraid of it messing up the taper on the filter side. Does this crush washer need to be in there, between the filter and the flare nut? Im in a major bind here seeing as I need to get to work by 11 am tomorrow!

Thanks in advance guys!!
