Fuel filter o-rings

[m3x1c0]

Old ones were orange and falling apart. Part store was closed so I just grabbed a couple from a generic Dorman set I have. Do I need to go back and put special ones (viton?) in there? Where can I get them if so?

They sell them in the parts store. Napa has a kit with all different sizes. I tried regular orings and they started leaking after a week

Napa sent me packing. Weren't even willing to look: "nah we aint got anything like that." Ok? Walked to O'reillys next door. "I don't think we have any kits of just o-rings but let me try this." He looks up my fuel injectors and walks back with a box. O-ring is an exact match! These guys are great. I also went to Advance and found a package containing an assortment of Viton O-rings but are made in China and clearly look inferior (flash lines from the molding are terrible.) Thank God for awesome parts guys willing to go a step further to help a guy out!

So what oring are they intended for? Fuel Injectors?

The ones in the box are the Help! box is an assortment for anything involving fuel. I think the key is that they are made of Viton.
