I've had good luck just putting a couple wraps of black electrical tape on the tank threads and do NOT overtighten....if the tank mouth is oval shaped, it has been overtightened. The aluminum inserts help, but mine still leaked...the electrical tape fixed it.

I just switched the gas and oil caps on my 08...neither leaked after the switch?
