Injector O-rings - anything special?
Traced a fuel leak to a slightly damaged O ring on the good lady's car. Are they in any way special? Can I just source a same size O ring and
fit it? Cant see anyone but halfords been open over the bank holiday weekend so not much choice. Anyone know?

Possibly be a standard size, but material may be an issue. The wrong material could see it swell up in contact with fuel, or go rock hard (and not
work as an o ring).

They are special and laughably expensive
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

They are 14.5mm OD for Ford and most others. Material is Viton.
O rings are specified by bore and cross section, correct ones are 7.5mm (7.52) bore and 3.5mm (3.53) section.

Expensive!? Not mine.
I bought a set for my Bosch injectors and they were 1$ each at the parts shop.
Unlikely you could find standard O rings due to size alone Injector seals are wee and very thick.. then there is the suitable material issue.
