Default O-ring rubber

Hi all,
I need to put an o-ring in my chopping board carby adaptor. Can someone tell me a good supplier of fuel/E85 resistant o-ring material?

Cheers

Try a heavy equipment supplier. Years ago I helped a mate making O-rings for his Caterpillar grader hydraulic rams. He had different thickness lengths of rubber in a kit. Can't remember the brand name.

Viton per:
http://www.corryrubber.com/main/ns/6...tegory/1/_id/3
http://orings.com/tech_compound.php
http://www.dkirubber.com/materials.asp
and there are plenty of suppliers on ebay etc. Plus places like Covs and Blackwoods.

Edit:

No scrub that per http://www.allorings.com/compatibility.htm
it seems Perfluoro-elastomer is best albeit very expensive.
