Hello, I purchased a used motorcycle recently that has developed a gas leak at the quick connect fuel line interface. Having never encountered one of these before the all knowing Google informed me that simply replacing an O ring should fix it. My question is that there are various materials O rings are made of. If the auto parts stores near me cant help would a Home Depot O ring made for water use be suitable?
