Not sure where you could get a replacement from, but in the past I have used a small elastic band for an O ring which worked well. You could also try cutting out a leather washer to fit, which would last for ages. I've done this in the past to replace airgun breech seals. Almost as good as the silicon rubber ones if you keep them greased.
Hope this helps.

I had to find a new O-ring for my step Dad's air pistol. He gave up looking at all the usual outlets. Finally found a suitable one as a Body Piercing studio.

Yup, beeezarre!

The things people stuff into themselves. Anyway this geezer with more metal in his face than my bike's gearbox has iron in it, opened up a box with multiple compartments and hooked out the relevant 7mm sized one. I bought two for £3, bit pricey but given that no one else I'd asked on God's green earth could supply me with the right size ones I figured I got myself a bargain.

Maybe you'll have similar luck. Just try not to wince when you see his "enhancements" and don't say yes if he asks if you want to see his Prince Albert.

I'll have a look in my 'O' ring workshop selection box to see if I have any 7mm one's, if I have, I'll post 'em if you need 'em, FOC.

Halfords do a small pack of o-rings that contains the right size.

I use my peanut without the 'o' ring and it holds fuel indefinately.

The tiny little clear elastic bands (some kind of silicon stuff) that girls use to fasten the ends of tiny cornrow braids work fine.

I used one about six months ago and it's still working fine. There's at least 100 in a bag for under a pound.

cheers,
