Which plastics are petrol safe?

Does anybody know which plastics are petrol safe or where I could find a list?

Ages ago I saw a booklet in an industrial pipework suppliers and its told you which plastic pipes and fittings were suitable for which chemicals.

Basically I think the R1 Throttle Bodies we've got on the car a too big, so the quickest way I can think of to throttle them down is to put a plastic pipe reducer into the inlet trumpet.. they probably don't need to be fuel safe as there the atmosphere side of the throttle butterflies but it would be better if they are.

I have a nylon fuel return line on my car, it has been on for 2 years with no problems.Most plastics would be ok in your application though.
