The red rubber grease should keep it supple.
Re: Black Fuel Tap (73)
I did put some red rubber grease on it when I put it on my tank , but to be honest the seal was more like plastic than rubber , it already seems more supple & I won`t get to try it until the weekend ,so i1l give it a good soak & apply the grease again before refitting , finger crossed 
Will update later .
