    So I did some more checking about my leak. It leaked right down to the bottom of the flap. In fact it looked like it was 1/16 below the top of the grey part.





    That was after an overnight sit. After a weekend the result was the same.



    Last night I doubled up the gasket - put the OE one on first (top) and then the new red one below (bottom, in contact with the grey thing in the tank).

    Seems that the double gasket trick works. So I think the red gasket is ever so slightly too thin, causing an insufficient seal.

    Huh. Glad I mentioned it. Oddly, lots of folks have fixed it with just the Korky and been very happy. Maybe its a tolerance thing. We will keep it in our bag of tricks for folks who can't fix it with just the Korky.
