Fuel filter issues

Anyone besides me having problems with new fuel filters. The angled gasket is smaller then the old one. I've had fuel blow by the gasket, several time. How tight does that plastic cap need to be to remain tight?

I also had the same problem. Just tryed to change it the other day. I got the filter from www.fleetfilter.com with new gaskets. The filter looked just a bit taller but looked the same. Put old filter back it and tightend the crap out of the cap and no leak..
