Anyone else notice noise from Jim's Fuel Mod?

So over the weekend while I autocrossed the eight six I had my friend do some work to the Camry and also install ASG's version of Jim's Fuel Mod I've had lying around. I drove it home last night and noticed a new noise, almost like a squeaking/ringing. I popped the hood today and look inside and decided to tighten the one bolt holding the fuel filter on a bit more, since there's only one holding it in now (how the kit works for those that don't have it) since it seemed to have some play in it. That may have helped since it did move slightly. However, I notice the metal washers at the ends of the lines rest freely and have slight movement to them, which in turn makes noise and seems to be what I was hearing. This normal and anything I can try to do to make them quieter? I feel like I'm Santa driving his sleigh now. lol

Sounds like the washer was just vibrating around, If you cant get it any tighter, just put some locktite on it.

I've never had any noise from my kit, but I also made a custom bracket for the filter so it's bolted down with 2 bolts instead of 1. Maybe the play in the mount is causing your noise?

Thanks to those that responded. The washers I notice aren't tight enough to where they won't move at all, but they stay put. Since I tightened the bracket bolt seems to have gone away and I dont think I've noticed it anymore. Oh well, just a minor nuance. The car is still far more civil compared to the eight six
