Circuit sports overflow tank leak

[S-Nation S13]

FML so I just bought this from FR SPORTS had it on my car for about a week now, inspected it and I see it leaking from the clear tube WTF !! Is there a way for me to fix this? Have any of you experienced this problem, I know I'm not the only one with this issue.

I have one on my car.
4 years now, still good!

Try messing with the clear tube, till it's snug tight. Might help

I dont have one of this, but if im not mistaken, those little clear tubes are connected to some little plastic elbows. Those elbows should have this mechanism that works as a quick disconnect tool to remove the tube, similar to a/c lines and some fuel filters. Im sure there should be an o-ring inside the elbow fitting that acts as a seal against the clear tube, if Im right, you should be able to remove and replace this o-ring using a small pick. If the clear tube is made of soft plastic, it could also be worn out/out of round.

or you can take the fittings off and plug them

I got tired of mine leaking and just removed the clear hose and plugged the bungs with NPT plugs. If I want to see the level I can just take the cap off the tank.

By any chance I know it's a long shot, do you know the threadings ? NPT? I could use standard bolt with the correct threadings since I'm just pluggin up the 2 ports?

Yeah a normal bolt with like Teflon tape would probably work. I don't know the exact thread cause we just had a huge bucket of pipe fittings and used whatever fit.

Literally the exact same thing happened on mine. Emailed them and they sent a replacement. Boom.

Happened to a friend of mine, I told him to talk to them, he did and didn't get a replacement. Close friend so I doubt he is lying, but i'm glad FRSPORT is still looking out for the customers.

I broke my tube working on my car, brought the fitting to lowes and bought 2 bolts and washers the same size and just used teflon tape on them.

heres a shitty picture I found on my hard drive if it helps

I was referring to the manufacturer for the replacement, either way glad you got it sorted.

So I plugged the ports with 2 bolts, after a week wait I finally got word from FR sports, and a detailed note of what CIRCUIT SPORTS SENT them. Pretty much they told me all I had to do was change out the clear tubbing and that will fix my leak issue. I will do as they advised, but it doesn't seem like a fix to me but we shall see. Thanks for the feed back guys.

9/10 it's the tubing. Which is usually an end that's fucked. It's the same setup they use on air rams and to fix the issue we usually trim an end, you might not have enough tube tho. Good luck.
