Fuel Valve O Ring

In looking at 7point3. They say the fuel drain oring is:
<TABLE id=DataGrid1 style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3 rules=all border=1><TBODY><TR style="FONT-SIZE: smaller; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #e5e5e5"><TD>Fuel Drain Valve</TD><TD>Viton</TD><TD>W 1/8"</TD><TD>ID 1/4"</TD><TD>OD 1/2"</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
My friendly International dealer looked the part up to find the oring and he said it is some goofy number. Something like W.125(?) ID ~.250 OD .373"
I didn't write down what he said for the ID, I just remember he said it was pretty much a 1/4." Then he said the OD part was making him nervous, bc it wasn't near the same.
Do the 444e's run a different water trap!?!
Are they the same part?
Does anybody have 3 out of their 25 for sale?
This oring deal is getting ridiculous!!!

Sorry and I know this is but I guess that is how I roll

OUCH! That said like $6!!!

Just to make sure...
This is closed right??? I tried mine either way and it still leaked, but this is the way it has rolled for years...
I can't seem to get the pic to work, but here is the linky.

I couldn't get my really cool picture of beating the crap out of a dead horse to work either. This fuel leak is really bringing me down!

Yeh that is closed, that might be expensive, I didn't think it was bad especially thru a ford dealer.

viton assortment

Hey did you know Pep Boys and some other auto parts stores have viton o-ring assortment packs. When my fuel bowl valve started leaking I had to buy two packs to get the o-rings to fix it. About $15.00.
Since then I have used some others for the IPR and the do not remove plug.
Just thought I would mention it.

Scott, the international dealers numbers are just the decimal form of your fractional numbers. Except the last one, not sure why its .373 if your measurement is 1/2". THat would put his at .500 if 1/2" is right or yours at ~3/8" if .373 if his is right

My dad can get McMasterCar (sp) at work so I might just do that. $5 w no shipping. I am sure I could just mail them to whoever needs the extras.

Ditto, that is about as ballsy as selling the .01 glowplugs for $50 in the FTE classifieds. Granted I did trade a set to Strokin to cover my supporter badge...

Not really too bad for Viton F. You're getting Viton A from McMaster.
Try finding a Viton ETP, you will pay close to $9.00 each for that size oring.
