OK, what I'm getting at here is which of the materials offered by this company might be superior to what Holley and everyone else is using, as to the ability to resist damage from ethanol. Please read the individual categories (yes, I know it takes a while) and offer an opinion. Thank you.

The Nitril //  BUNA-N is more resistant to Alcohol than the Viton material on the other hand Viton is more recistant to fuel than the Nitril. BLP has gone back to BUNA material on the N&S orings.
Last time i got orings from Mcmastercarr i ordered the BUNA material. so far so good just a little to short time to really say.

Holley uses buna n as well.

Kinda damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t. One gets rock hard, and one gets mushy.

We use Teflon o rings like that for pneumatic rams. They generally aren’t used by us in strictly compressive applications as they take a set.

Try em out and see.

I have the answer! Been in my hobby room the whole time!   https://www.ebay.com/itm/352550791382  Look! Even pink for guys with automatics!

Well, my work on this planet is done. Thanks for resurrecting your Madness thread. I think I missed it because it was in Members Projects, which I don't read as much as I should. I hope it brings you more business as it adds more haters to the FElony account. Mmmmm haters.

Yes, I brought it back up partially for your benefit.  I figured perhaps you’d notice me detailing the different things I’ve tried over the past year, but I guess, no?
Made me wonder why you were whining “wahhh no one will tell me the secret.”  The info was on public display the whole time. Heck, look at my page sometime. I pretty much detail everything I do.

Pretty sure no one cares enough to actually hate you. Folks appear to send me carbs for reasons totally unrelated to you.

Well, it does go both ways. You seemed surprised that I had any "numbers" cars, but I think most guys that have been on these forums for a while and can wade through my bullshit know the score.

There's going to be x number of newbies that are essentially unfamiliar with your work. Bringing that thread back around is fresh advertising. You said it yourself..."partially for your benefit". I think for every customer you get that says "I hate FElony", you should email me a cheezburgr. It's only fair.

So now that I'm gearing up (finally), I'll be starting my YouTube channel. Might be a tad different than many car channels. I had zero support for this idea when mentioned several times in this and the other forum, so you won't see me saying anything about it here. But, it should be fun. If not, I can just switch it off and go back on the lo-lo.

And Doug, if you read this, I apologize for the comment about your Mustang burning down. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Apology accepted. Now, back to our regularly scheduled FE programming...

Drew, I've learned more about carbs from you in the past year, than I have in my lifetime.

Thanks Doug, I don't often find something that really catches my interest, but when I do, I dedicate my life to it.  Heck, I'm still in the shop plating right now at 11:41pm.  So much more to learn, lot further to go with this still, deeper you go, the bigger it gets.  Just wish that pesky "going to work" thing didn't get in the way.

No sir.... I don't recall ever thinking about your cars at all.
I've yet to actually see anything that you have built. 

Instead of a cheeseburger, I'll send you something to hang outside your shop.

The PTFE oring is not flexible/soft enough to seal right in the N&S bore. It is better used in a squeeze situation like for bowl screws ,N&S nut  and lock screw.

The overall game plan is complicated, but unique. Either I'll succeed or fail.

Cool, though I understand what you are saying. I've only worked on about 5 or 6 thousand cars in my past. I should get by.

I see. What about a pre-installation soak in 303 for regular o-rings to hedge against deterioration?

The sign was based on you talking about a you tube channel.  Stop being so overly sensitive, it's not your style dude.
5,000 cars?  cool, you should really share some of your extensive knowledge on this site, it's what it is all about.
