Subject:Fuel Expansion Tank Valve Grommet: Use PCV Grommet?

Hi all.

Van-cafe has these:

but for if someone were in a pinch....

I'm looking at Dorman products (Some Dorman products sold as "HELP") and
see various PCV grommets that might work:

http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-27687-42330.aspx
http://www.dormanproducts.com/p-4936-42055.aspx

Measuring a spare expansion tank and new rollover valve, I see:

15/16"  tank ID, 7/16" valve OD. I don't know how thick the OEM grommet is
though.

Since a PCV grommet is likely rated for oil, would it be ok for use with
fuel or fuel vapours?
