ok. I was not aware that Neoprene is aBrand Name. But now i'm a little confused. Is the "rubber" used in fuel sytems such as the accelerator pump seal made of Neoprene or Nitrile rubber????? Or is Neoprene just a particular Brand name for Nitrile rubber???

My 89 Caprice with TBI (pump in tank) uses some kind of a pink "rubber" seal on both sides of the filter. What are the pink 'rubber' seals made of??? I bought a filter at discount store but it had no little "rubber" seals. So i had to buy those at the Chevy dealer.
