Frank he is not talking about the small seals that seal the cross over
tube on top of the gas tank he is talking about the much larger seals
that go on top of the plastic expansion tanks that live in each front
wheel well (peer up in there and if you see a large glob of mud with two
hoses going to it that is your expansion tank.

I am going to add these seals to my gas tank kits today.  I never
thought they would be a problem since they are so high up in the wheel
well.  Live and learn.
