Would pushing the "priming" option until something failed cause additional damage? Thanks for the input, I want to fix it as soon as the money is available.

Turning the ignition key to the RUN position and waiting for several seconds before trying to start the car won't cause any "damage" -- but the problem of the fuel "bleed back" isn't gonna get any better over time. Need to keep the tank 1/2 full or better, and park on a relatively flat parking area .....

Good to know! Thanks for the info, I'm glad to know it's not an urgent issue and is so easily remedied in the mean time.
