According to McMaster Carr:

Viton is Excellent for gasoline but poor for alcohol so with more and more 
ethanol being added to the fuel this may not be a good choice.  Neoprene is 
only fair with gasoline but good with alcohol.  Polyurethane is good with 
both but rates poor for compression set.  It looks like flurosilicone is the 
best choice.  If you can find any.
