like I said, I only use copper, smartypantz 🙂 but I would assume the lack of inserts is a good reason for leaky pipework

had this before we used a hand pump to get the fuel to the tiger loop with a non return on the fuel line at the tank once the fuel was in the loop it ran brilliant

Am I missing something? An oil lifter has been recommended...what for? It's just a top outlet tank.
The Tank top should have a non return valve and an anti-syphon valve, I'd be checking them.

It's an underground tank, you would struggle to syphon that.

As far as I recall, all top outlets have an anti-syphon valve built in.

Pressure test the line with a test pump to check for leaks (this should have been done already by the installer but I'm guessing it hasn't)
