The small amounts of Vaseline that may enter the water will cause no
harm. Vaseline is non toxic.

I didn't say it was harmful, I said it wasn't approved for potable water
systems...

I was lit up a few months ago by somebody else on the other way 'round
when I suggested it for the water filter o-rings. So, thinking same
way you did/do, I looked it up and it is _not_ listed for internal use.

That said, I personally still use it but no longer recommend it in
usenet postings for the purpose...
