Fuel tank baffles
Fuel tank baffles
(OP)
Hi all I'm new to this forum and I must say there are some very helpful and knowledgable members here. I'm wanting to build my own stainless steel gas tank and have the overall demensions figured out. I realize that when I have an in tank pump I need a baffle system around the pump for various reasons.
What I'm wanting to know is there anywhere I can go or do any of you have any information in the most effective type of baffle system for gas tanks.
Thanks!

Is this an F.I. system with a return?
RE: Fuel tank baffles
I believe you can get them with or without an internal fuel pump.

2. Street or Racing, Both
3. FI or Carburated, Both but more than likely FI and yes it will need a return.
I have some baffle articles and designs, I'm just curious if there are any better types or not.
Thanks!
RE: Fuel tank baffles
If you're just using the vehicle on the street without any high conering forces and if you're not too bothered about unusable fuel in the bottom of the tank, then a simple labyrinth welded in to the tank bottom around the pump pick-up will do for both an in-tank pump and a chassis-mounted pump. If you want - email me and I'll send a sketch.
FDMs have the advantage that they'll always have a head of fuel for the pump inlet and its usually vapour-free. In-tank pumps generally have this advantage over chassis-mounted types, which nearly always suffer from vapour handling problems at some time.

reason why i used the stock tank:
-sleeper aspect
-costs less than using a fuel cell
-stock tank is situated lower than a fuel cell would be
