General Fuel leak

I can only assume these, whether by design or accident, expand when they come into contact with petrol. At £30 a go plus three weeks’ delay from Italy, I can’t afford to keep ordering them until one decides it wants to fit. Plus you can’t get a new sender/seal combo anywhere, all out of stock. Perhaps I could mock something up using O rings?

i must admit, i would have gone down the measuring calipers route and just took the measurements to a bearing place as they often do seals. hmm i kinda wish i had experance in this so i could offer more help.
i would take a measure and search for "flat o ring seal ID xx" where xx is the "inner diameter" size in mm. it looks like it does not matter if some of the washer sticks out?

even i am impressed as to how quick that seal has degraded.

post up the measurements in mm (if you have some measuring veneers) and ill try and find something that may work.
