Gary,
Have you had to change out the 'o-rings' that seal the can for bigger ones?

In all the time I've run the Frantz - one of those pictured on my truck is over 40 years old - I have only replaced ONE of the base gaskets - and that was after it had been removed from a previous vehicle many years earlier, and then sat in storage for about 20 years before being installed on my '91 Dodge. The original seal had begun to show small hairline cracks around it's surface - but no actual leakage as I recall. I replaced the old one with another stock Frantz replacement.

I dislike the knob-tightening design of later units, and use the lever type on both used on my truck now - I had tried the knob type earlier, some of my older pics might still show that one - but now that one has been "retired"...
