exactly. NAPA had a box of o-rings behind the counter and one of them
was a match for the o-rings where the outbound and inbound fuel lines
meet the fuel tank in my 164.

subsequently i noticed metric o-rings in a Midwest Fastener display at
the local ACE hardware that probably would have done just as well.

i'd say that the mega-home stores (Lowest, Home Despot) are probably
_not_ places to look for this; i've found the hardware at Home Despot
biased towards other things, and the little stuff that Midwest Fastener
is good at having is often missing or was once there but hasn't been
restocked.
