You’re welcome and I learned that after a lot of research trying to find the drain plug gasket for my 1965 Imperial. It’s probably Viton or its equivalent used on reproduction rubber parts that indicate they are ethanol-safe

On the Imperial and as a little aside, when I first got it to my Oregon shop and went to drain the tank, I found that the seal had entirely gone with the plug itself being held on by only a portion of a turn of the threads so lucky it was still there! The seal was an odd size and has to fit into a confined area so the OD and thickness was important too but someone on eBay was selling them in any size needed and happened to have what I wanted at a very reasonable price. I had already bought a new reproduction stainless tank but probably won’t need it.
