I et th knock off tank is the issue - it was for me. If anyone does switch out their tank, I recommend using the vacuum tester on the tank before you install it just to be sure you have a good tank. I simply duct taped all of the hose ports, fit the airlift and applied a vacuum to make sure it held 20 psi vacuum.

After verifying a good tank, removing the recently installed leaky knock off tank and installing a verified good tank, I do not have any leaks, steam, or overflows.

At the end of the day, all is good but I wasted the money on the cheap tank and wasted 3 hours installing and removing it. Not worth it.
