Yes, old, dry, hard rubber will not seal well against the smooth barb-less plastic prefilter, especially the ones without a brass insert/ support in the barbs. I have seen prefilters made by welding 2 halves together resulting in rough seams on the barbs. Plain garbage! I had to scrape the seams smooth to stop the air leak. Once I bought proper pre-filters with brass insert supports, threw the garbage out.
