When I bought my '85 Westy, in 2002, it was leaking at the top of the
tank upon filling.  I got the whole kit and a new fuel gauge sender
(gauge didn't work) which of course fixed the leak.  The grommets were
the culprits and my crossover tube and the plastic fittings were not
broken.  I replaced the crossover anyway in that it was part of the kit.

So, those leaks aren't always caused by a broken crossover tube or its
fittings.
