You could check that link I posted a couple of posts up, but I don't think you'll find the fuel filter lid o-ring, unless you special order and buy them by the 1000's. They are a triangular cross section, not a normal round x-section o-ring.

For the round x-section one at the base of the filter element, you could measure it and match it up to a stock size. For something that big though, it's tough to get a correct diameter without a measuring cone (see the link for info on those). You could get close by using a caliper on the filter element and taking a bit off to account for stretching the o-ring on.
