OK, solved my problem, thanks to you guys and especially Oilguy for his input. I did some research on the SPX breather cap, and then called the pump mfg again to talk to a tech. This time the tech confirmed also that the tank needs a breather cap and gave me the cap part number. I searched...

OK, Will do some research on them.

Got around to taking a few pics of my pump. The red fill cap is what I may drill a small hole and see what the results are. Unfortunately, I can't get pics to post either. If it works, I may tap and install a small sintered bronze breather I can source from work.

I am also contemplating a two post lift and have the same problem with control joints being near where I want the lift. I did not forsee a lift when i built 13 years ago. I work for a machinery company and have access to steel plate and had considered expanding the the length and width of the...
