While I won't dispute that you need new gaskets, I will ask if you're sure. I can't imagine an intact tank and cap in worse shape than mine and new gaskets were not necessary.

Depending upon the age of the bike, I'd want to find out if it had ever had the recall service done. I took my bike to a Kawasaki dealer to get the carb sorted out and they gave me a brand new tank - for free. The tank had been recalled because of rusting problems. You might want to see if you can get the same recall service performed.
