People don't realize that the lids an caps were individually fitted

very difficult when buying used tanks to tell if they seal although if
the caps and lids are _very_ tight or loose one can tell. There may be a
way to expand or squeeze them to make them fit but I don't know how. The
factory may have had a way, maybe someone has the secret (if there ever
was one).
I have several of those tanks. When I had the leaking problem, I mixed
and matched until I got them to not leak. I then got a diamond-tipped
engraving gizmo and numbered them 1, 2, and 3 so I no longer mix them up.
I also use Jobo tanks and reals and they do not leak. But for 35mm, the
Nikor tanks are the easiest to load, but the Jobo (in a CPE-2) are
easiest to use. For me.
