I don't understand why my new toilet leaks between the tank and the bowl
(Crane Plumbing toilet). I put in the foam seal on the proper
orientation, I tightened the two bolts (with rubber washers) evenly. I
tightened them until the tank barely touches the bowl ribs. I followed all
the instructions, so I don't know why I still got a leak? I assume the
leak is at the seal and not at the bolts. I can see that the rubber
washers are well seal and compressed inside the tank. Any ideas?

Chuck a couple of those tablet things that make the water go blue (or green) in
the cistern, you'll spot the leak real quick. Then turn off the supply to the
cistern and let it dry, say overnight, (you can always flush using a bucket in
the meantime) then when you take it all apart the source of the leak is painted
out for you. In our case it was a cracked washer on one of the fixing bolts.

Cautionary note: That blue or green stuff plays havoc with your grouting so
protect it first.
