For what it's worth, both of my vans came with leaky tanks, and neither one
had a broken crossover. Rather, the problem was that the various rubber
grommets on the tank, including the two that the crossover fits into, were
all rotten. The crossover is a downright silly expensive part, so it may be
worth it to you to check yours before buying a new one.
