Powerstroke fuel injector problems
Can anyone tell me what the contoured washer that sits on top of the inlet seal of the fuel injector to guide the ball tube into the fuel injector in a 2006 f350 6.0 powerstroke is called?
I broke one of them and can't find find a replacement, probably because I don't know what to search for.

I believe you are right, but if I remove an injector, I am going to put all new o-rings on it (and I know people change that top o-ring with the injector still in the engine, but I would not recommend that on a forum ........just too much potential to drop something).

You're very right Mark, in-truck injector work like that is a terrible idea.
I was just referring the OP to the correct part that he was asking about. I got the idea that maybe the OP somehow broke the washer while changing the seal "I broke one of them"
Can't say for sure what happened, but an o-ring change is necessary for sure!
Those beveled washers do not come in o-ring kits typically.

They don't come in Ford kits, but I was pretty sure that they were included in the Alliant Power kit sold by Accurate Diesel. My memory can be poor at times, but I know that this was discussed a few times in the old days.
EDIT - reading the detail on that AP kit, it does list that injector top D-ring.

Oh, we're talking about two different things here. I think the OP was asking about the steel spacer right below the snap ring (which is what I linked) rather than the rubber D-ring. The Alliant kits do not have the steel spacer, or at least it isn't listed on the Accurate listing (and I never got one when I did mine in Feb).
I had to reuse mine, so I had to take care when removing the snap ring.
