Default My cheap fuel tank baffle/anti-slosh idea

I really really do not want to cut my stock tank in half to build baffles inside. The access hole for my dual in tank pumps is only 4 inch. My tank is 20 gallons.

I ran the numbers quick, and if I throw ~108 stainless steel scrubber ***** (you know the ones you can scrub dishes with), it will fill the entire inside of the tank and only add ~12 lbs and displace ~0.2 gallons.

Discuss. Thanks

I considered an in tank Walbro under no pressure feeding a surge tank, and then my high pressure pumps from that...that would be a straight forward solution, but I do not want to run a surge tank.

Anyone else?

Curious as to why you don't want to run a surge?

I did nothing to my Z32 as VERY few people have had issues with the car and it was only when make a hard left turn with less than 1/4 a tank.

I don't know of any options but I don't think fill the tank with scrubber ***** is the best idea. Nor do I think it would actually help all that much.

I decided to keep the stock plastic can thats inside the fuel tank and cut some of the baffles out of the inside of it. It holds about 1 gallon. I drilled some holes on the front of it so when I am pulling under boost, the fuel will be caught by that back wall and help feed the dual pumps.
