Just put a limited slip tank In my brawler. Running a single pickup to my stock 38's. Every time I run it I have to prime it. Never had this issue with my superjet and stock tank. Anyone have any Ideas?

you can pressure test / lead down test the tank with the one way and test the tank without the oneway.

I have this issue with my limited slip tank on my TPE motor. Can it cause damage eventually if there is a leak?

It has a flex inside the tank. From what I can tell its sealed and not leaking

It does release a lot off pressure when I open the gas cap. Not sucking in air when I open

Yes I do

Do you have one of the early tanks with the red plastic cam-lock caps? They can develop slow leaks over time. The fuel additives in ethanol mixed fuels do not play well with anything other than Viton or nylon from what I have found. They work fine with race gas or zero ethanol fuels, but I no longer use them because of this. I can make you a replacement all-aluminum cap if needed.

The easiest way to check is let the ski run enough to prime the tank, then spray some soapy water around the cap. If it is leaking at all, you should definitely see some bubbles.

I have one of the new style tanks. I will try the soapy water test and report back

Could just be a nick in the o-ring then, I can send you a new one if so.
