Thanks
That is a very good point.
I am making specific brass tubes for this purpose.
In that case, the tube cannot deflect under vacuum and since it is inserted once in the pump/ valve and not removed, the o'ring is not exposed to kerosene/ diesel.
In this case the fitting will last a very long time.
