Default Does this o ring fit?

I bought the fuel tool to replace the lower o ring on my fuel check valve on my 2007 noghtster. The kit didn't come with the o ring so I went to auto store and got a 113 and 112 and 111. Will Amy of these work?

First search - Fuel-Tool Check Valve Rebuild Kit - MC-300 | JPCycles.com

Second search - Fuel leak at tank quick disconnect (o-ring) - Harley Davidson Forums (hdforums.com)

For other people contemplating the fuel tool here - Fuel-Tool Check Valve Repair Tools - MC-400 | JPCycles.com

costs about the same as buying two new valves complete. If you can't find several mates who need the o-rings changing it might be more cost effective to just get the complete valve.

The rubber that the O -ring is made from must be made of Viton or hypolon . These are usually marked with some kind of color dot , and most of time they’re brown .
You could do more Searching on this form for petcock o-ring , fuel connection o ring , or a quick quick disconnect o-ring .

Well, I now have these Viton 013 o rings. They say they are 75 durometer black. Anyone know if this is the right one? This is all very confusing to me. They look to be the same when I hold them in my hand.

They look good , but have you removed the old / damaged O ring to compare it to the new one ?

I got it working!!! I'm not at all mechanically inclined and I feel really satisfied with having done this. I got the old o ring out with the fuel tool and put in the new o ring and just did a 20 mile ride.

I recommend the fuel tool for sure. It was easy snd the video online explained perfectly what needed to be done.

Again, thank you for all the advice.

You should see about getting a service manual for your bike.
