Nels:
Glad to hear you found the secret recess where the seal goes. I usually
find the skinny seal is the one that fits best. It sure is a pain to get it
seated properly! A little advice: When tightening the canister, make sure it
doesn't turn against the seal. After changing the filter, run the engine a
few minutes making sure the canister is sealed well before you hit the road.
When it leaks, it leaks spectacularly!
