Replace this part

Make sure the o-ring is present and not pinched or damaged.
Replace with this if it is missing or damaged:

Search the part numbers in google and you can probably find them cheaper

And buy the proper tool to remove and install the fuel pump ring. That tool is a lot cheaper than your car, and the safety/lives of yourself and those around you.

Agree 100% with this. But since the deed is done there is no going back. Also, angle grinding right next to the fuel pump is probably not the best idea.
