Dry sump breathing on 351W V8
Discussion
Use a tank that is designed and manufactured properly.
The breather out must be designed in such a way that the oil being de-airated can't go out the breather outlet under corner g.
To achieve that you usually have a breather outlet that is linked to the centre filler neck, the internals of the filler neck in itself is designed to never allow any oil from the de-air section of the tank to get up into the filler neck where the breather outlet resides. You then have a top baffle to isolate the main de-aired oil from the spinning airated oil, then a final lower baffle to ensure you don't allow the oil outlet for the pressure pump inlet to see any air under corner g.
I can probably do you a drawing if you like.
