Oil tank change on Legal Eagle XL 7-1/2 to eliminate oil blowing overboard and maintain constant oil pressure.

I placed the oil tank with minimum weight in mind, used a round tank attached to engine and close to engine. This maximized weight savings but has been a problem in that we are constantly blowing oil overboard and loose oil pressure at times. Finally determined the problem to being air oil from engine, the Verner 3V is a dry sump oil system, oil and air was not separating resulting in foaming in tank. This resulted in oil air being blown overboard and pumping foam in place of oil resulted in lose of oil pressure. We changed the tank to one like on Legal Eagle XL ORV and it seems to be working as desired now.
