Did you drain tank also? Sounds like you only drained the oil from the engine. If so, and you added 3 L to the tank, you have over filled.

Oil tank was replaced as it was damaged , so yes the oil tank was empty, going to try it according to the shop manual procedure step by step

Ok, I've always put 2.5 litres in tank, ran sled for a little and topped off with the last 1/2 litre. Never had an issue. Good luck with it

Well the custom tank builder says that there tank is built right but when we install the factory type tank back on the problem we had goes away , so im thinking that there tank is not made properly inside causing this sled to puke oil all over , this is there statement but they don't stand behind it I guess

Ok so we got this tank dissected & the venting chamber is nothing like the factory , it has way to many holes in it no wonder the oil was being forced out the vent tube , here are some pics of the inside of the custom tank & the factory tank
