Re: Fuel Inj Seals???

Sure!

But- in reference to the FI o-rings, for many a year they have been
"black" and  would harden from the heat! Now(great idea) Bosch is
making them from the green "Viton" rubber!  Which I heard has to be
that color
because of the properties in the Viton rubber!

I know o-rings come in many colors, but color (in the aviation
industry) is
often a reference to its designed usage!

Still, a blue set would be nice! (Joke!)
