The spacers on the fuel pump were phenolic heat insulators as are the phenolic washers. Hopefully, you went back with something non conductive. Every little bit helps with the volatility of today's gas and the many reports of vapor lock.

IMO, Filling the galley sounds good since there is no way to run the pump separately to fill the system. I believe there have also been suggestions to prime the pump with light grease so it can pick up a bit quicker. Not sure if that is necessary. If it is a good idea, others can comment and give better details on what to use.
