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

engraving gizmo and numbered them 1, 2, and 3 so I no longer mix them
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.
