1. Paper gaskets are good.

2. Cork / Rubber work better IF torqued no more than about 7 foot pounds.
If too tight they are smashed and leak. Same thing with VW and GM valve cover gaskets.

3.IN THE PAST, the Black Neoprene gaskets for the glass sediment bowl are a major problem and are worthless when they turn to mush and leak when used with Ethanol gasoline.

Real bummer when you find the problem on the side of the road and do not have a spare gasket.
