Thats why most newer vehicles have Viton gaskets and O-rings NOT buna anymore. Oh by the way Viton is a derivative of teflon which is really flourine which is a CFC something they are trying to ban because its bad for the environment.

That means tanker trucks that burn diesel fuel and get about 5 miles to the gallon have to haul the fuel to large storage tanks. The same goes for bio-diesel. It takes my husband (a tanker truck driver) 14 hours to go pick up a load of bio-diesel and bring it back.

I would like to see someone discuss what the effects ethanol has on your vehicle. What does alcohol do to rubber gaskets? It dries them out, of course. My husband has had to replace all of the gaskets on his trailer due to ethanol drying them out and causing leaks. Surely gasohol will have similar effects to our vehicles over time.
