both on mine but the fuel pump to a much lesser degree.
Here's the thing to consider
If your neck gasket has failed, YOU MUST pull your pump and replace the socks.
If you neck gasket has not failed and you replace it in time, then your socks are probably clean and I would NOT bother pulling the pump b/c it didn't really deteriorate like the neck side b/c it was not cut incorrectly.
On the neck side they cut only a hole big enough for the neck so it's like a large disc 4 inch diameter with a small hole cut out, when the tank is full the fuel pulls the excess gasket down and turns it into mush.
On the pump side the gasket is trimmed back far enough that it doesn't dip down into the fuel so this is really not such a problem.
If you never fill your gas tank up or never leave your car sitting with a full tank the deterioration will take much much longer to become a problem...whoops.
