I rebuilt the fuel tanks on my coupe recently and I found an oddity that I don't have an answer for. The left main has the baffle on the inboard side of the tank where the level indicator is located. The right tank has the baffle located where the fill cap is located. This puts the baffle in both tanks in the same location on the part of the tank that forms the sides and rear and by the way, it is spot welded in place. Could be that it was cheaper to make all of the tank pieces the same. I think that the purpose of the baffle is to reduce sloshing from causing the level indicator to bounce around. Don't know real reason. There is NO way of getting around the baffle. I have pictures of the interior of the tank if you would like to see how the baffle is configured.

Seems like there is a baffle surrounding the sump area that won't let me reach into it with the siphon. If any crud is present I think this is where it would collect. Was I doing something wrong?? regards JoeC 99621 "The Spirit of Camp Lake" How about more detail info on Fuel tank syphon. Sound like a good idea.
