    problem is billy you need the o rings that are made for use with fuel, or they will deteriorate a lot faster,i got mine from oreilly auto,i only needed 1 , there is a place that sells them cheap still carb store or somewhere

      They've held up fine, had them out since. I guess the manufacturer expects the rings to be exposed to all types of chemicals.

        EXACTLY! Many chemicals are petrol based and are a geat deal more corrosive than engine oil. ALL seals that come into contact with chemicals are viton and have been, forever. It has been only since the mid 80's that the auto makers made the switch...
