I thought petroleum products caused rubber to break down - or is that
just latex (as in 'rubbers')?

Well, if we are talking about impellers, the Vaseline hasn't caused a
problem so far... If we are talking about rubbers, I wouldn't know... Never
tried Vaseline and don't plan on it anytime soon. From my early
recollection, rubbers are are like trying to pick your nose with snowski
gloves on.

There again, YMMV,
