I just cut mine from some Viton sheet I had lying around but much easier to go to SiFab on eBay but I didn't know that at the time!

According to the Q&A on Amazon US, the 'Manufacturer' stated "These are Neoprene a synthetic rubber.". No idea how dependable this response is of course.

Is Viton Rubber the preferred solution over nitrile or neoprene? I'd like to avoid this happening again!

Is it 100% ethanol or the E85 that you are running? Should be able to get some serious power once set up properly for either.

Why such high fuel pressure, have you changed the injectors?
