That’s an interesting idea. There are many types of nitrile sheet for sale on the internet. The thin black disposable nitrile gloves probably would be too thin and they don’t seem to be all that fuel resistant anyway. You will need to find the right composition, thickness, and hardness (durometer).
Buna-N nitrile is used for the pressure tank connector o-rings, and also for the spaghetti seal in the gearcases of the 50’s and 60’s motors, so that might be a good starting point.
Thickness is easy enough to determine if you have a sample to check.
Hardness or durometer- comes in numbers like “60A or 70A” hopefully someone with more knowledge can help with this.
