I have split tanks on my build and set up a vent tube from the top of the second tank while the main tank has a vented cap... filled up the bike with no leaks 3 days ago, went to take it out today and as soon as I moved it the gas from both tanks dumped out from the vent tube on the second tank! needless to say there was a huge mess in the street now and I cant see what the problem is...
 
A vent line between the two tanks shouldn't dump fuel, they are at the top of the tanks. usually above the fuel level.
Most have a crossover at the bottom of the tanks that link them together so fuel can transfer from one side to the other.
Perhaps you hooked your vent to this lower hose??
