Can someone tell me what is a good non-petroleum lubricant that I might pick up downtown, instead of having to order it to lubricate the seal in my Delta vaccum pump?

You can find silicone grease in a little plastic tub in the plumbing supply section of places like Home Depot. It's used a faucet lube. The little that you get will last for a very long time.
