Does anyone have a picture or print of the plastic baffle in the turbo tank? Its hard to see the whole deal through the pump access hole. It looks like a lot of thinking went into the design. Thanks, CJ

From what I understand of it, it is specific to these cars. Also, the FP sits down inside the baffle. The baffle keeps the fuel "inside" and prevents it from sloshing backwards and having the pump suck air. This is especially important when you have 1/4 tank or less. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Good points and the lack of fuel delivery problems attest to the succes of the design. I'm thinking of building an aluminum fuel tank and would like to use some of the engineering built into the stock baffle. The problem is its hard to see the details of the baffle through the pump access hole. Thats why I wondered if anybody had a picture, illustration or print of the stock baffle. Thanks for the reply.
