[6pack] Spin-On Adapter

[Foster, Stan]

A common error is to not realize that there is already a seal in that cavity
and try and insert a second one. That is guaranteed to leak. If you are
getting leaks after adding the seal, triple check that there is not already a
seal in there, remove it and use the new seal.

The easiest way to check is to poke it with a sharp instrument, you should hit
metal. If not, it is probably an old petrified seal.

I am??

 I'll say!

The people at the oil & lube shop have tried to install it before but it
always leaked.
They take it out and it stops leaking. I have never used one and it hasn't
leaked a drop
of oil (from the canister) in almost 5 years of ownership.

I'll take a closer look next time and see what I am missing.
