Fuel filter base leaking? O-Ring part numbers here

Lots of people just plug the fuel pressure sensor hole with a bolt and JB weld. The 'authorized repair' on these was to replace fuel filter base with a new one without the sensor and no sensor hole drilled though. If you use an STE-ICE, you may want to keep sensor, otherwise it is just a source of trouble. Lots of old threads on this if you look.

The bleed plug uses a cylindrical rubber plug that is flat on the end/hole in the other (shaped like a glass or bucket) that fits on the tip.

The drain plug uses a cylindrical seal, without it the fuel would just run out.

I don't need the sensor oring, I drilled and taped an npt hole and plugged it.

Packing for the fuel filter housing.

I had a problem with the packing part number 27820. My housing was leaking and I could only find one of these packing parts in all of Phoenix. Since I did find one. I went to Napa Autoparts and grabbed their 1/4" fuel line and cut it to length to match... it worked perfectly.

It works for the air bleed and for the drain
I know this post is 10 years old, but I am looking for this seal. It is not an o-ring, and I cannot find one anywhere. Has anybody found a part number or alternate part that works?

And I am still looking for this one if anyone can help:
