A pretension spring would take care of the slack at starting on a gasoline engine. I had to fab up a bracket on my uncle's 350 Olds diesel to put a tensioner on the back side of the alternator belt because the power pulse of the engine would throw the belt off at certain rpms. The unsupported distance in the belt allowed the resonance wave to attain almost 3 inches peak to peak no matter how tight the belt was. It solved the problem but looked homemade.

Got any pics of those air powered tensioners?
