I would say Viton as it is rated for diesel fuel applications.

If your trying to get it right away to fix your rigg, I would go to your local Ford Dealer. They should have just the seal kits in stock. It's a common repair for our trucks. Or an International/Harvester Dealer. Country

How long since you replaced it? If has been recent, you may just need to tighten it up a bit. Or worse case, you may have cracked the plastic valve housing. While these things do tend to leak, they do last for a quite a long time in most cases.
