If it is air tight how is it going to let oil out when it is consumed and not creating a vacuum. Are you removing the big oil tank in the background?

I will open it and fill it up once a while. Air should go up! I will keep the oil tank for the engine. I have a bad crank seal...

Same thing when people loop the line. It’s just easier to fill it up!

I’m a fairly new owner, Can you explain what this is, and benefits from doing this are?

When the crank seal are bad, the oil leak and create a hydro lock when you want to start the engine. I added a shut off valve 2 years ago to close it when not in use. I never had any problem with hydrolock after. This modification allow me to use gear oil with is thicker than the expensive Seadoo oil. The benefit will be that the oil will drop less than the 2 strokes oil and it’s cheaper to fill it up. Some other guy just loop the lines together but I felt it was a pain in the ass to fill it up. With my little reservoir it will be easier!
