Holley 1850 fuel transfer tube seals??

Ok, I didn't actually see the seals or know what they were for until I was searching the net after, I had only noticed the o rings and used them, I did roll them down the tube but I used some soapy water so they wouldn't pinch, I suppose I could pre fill the bowls with fuel thru the vent tube then tilt the carb back and forth to look for leaks? Failing that, remove and install the other seals.
Filling the carb doesn't do much... They are on the pressurized part of the fuel system, outside the float bowls..
