    O-Ring compatibility for fuel?

    Need to replace the o-rings on my inline fuel pump case. I know Viton is compatible with direct contact to fuel, is Nitrile?

    Nitrile, also known as BNR and Buna-N, is good for petroleum fuels.

    Nitrile in today's fuels will swell considerably in a short time. This comes from years of experience in oil and gas pipeline work. Viton is the best choice.
