viton fuel system replacements?

I'm experiencing a fuel leak from someplace after filling my 1983 300D turbo's tank yesterday. I'll be chasing down where the leak is over the long weekend, but since I run biodiesel in the car, I'd like to replace whatever I find leaking with viton equivalants (I've already done the fuel hoses, so I don't think its them).

Can anyone point me to a site that either knows the viton equivalants of all the seals, hoses, etc. in the fuel system, or the set of sites I'll need to make the cross reference myself?

The docs I have talk about replacing the seals, but don't give the MB part number or specs on the O-ring needed. The electronic parts catalogs I checked allowed me to buy the parts, but didn't sell viton equivalants and didn't give me enough info to get them myself.

P.S> why isn't there a "smiley" for leaks?
