Although Max's problem is different, the more common problem is just
that the OE sealing rings are deteoriated, displaced, torn, or
missing. The solution is almost always to take a couple of hours to
install new ones. If you can find new ones, they should be fairly
cheap.
PS: Short sections of the right diameter inner tube will look right,
but the rubber compound is completely wrong for dealing with
gasoline. Don't try this as a shortcut.
