Michel,
According to my research, Nitrile Rubber (aka Buna-N Rubber), has good
resistance
to oil and most chemical solvents. It should be OK with 100LL or 95UL.
I completed the installation of the gaskets this afternoon and ran the electric
fuel pump to fill and pressure the float bowls. No leakage under pressure.
I'm letting them sit overnight and, weather permitting, I'll test them again
tomorrow
when I try an engine run. I'll post some pictures later this afternoon.

Hi Bob,
Are you sure the nitrile is resistant to the unleaded 95?
I am sure that the Viton is resistant.
