wall) right down the middle. I assumed that all vehicle tanks used an
internal baffle.
None of the pickups/wagons had baffles in them to my knowledge and
since they're making OEM replacement tanks they are matching the OEM
setup. The 1960/61 Valiants didn't have baffles in their tanks either.
That's all of the vehicle types I'm familiar with the gas tanks so for
my experience that's 100% that do no have baffles.
I was just wondering if any of you have used the plastic tank from
MTS Co.,(or any other manufacturer, for that matter), and if the lack
of a baffle caused any problems?
Don't see that it would cause any more or less problems than the OEM
tank.
Also, the tank does not have a return fuel line, neccessary for some
engines.
You surely weren't expecting MTS to have added one since the OEM specs
of the tank didn't call for it, were you?
use? The manufacturer advises against drilling a hole in the tank for
a return fitting. Seems to me that a 1/4 inch wall could support a
fitting of some sort, without a problem?
Difference between 'could' and liability. MTS won't advise it because
then when you screw it up they'd be potentially liable for it. By
advising against it they can say "we told you so". If I wanted to add
a return line I'd look into having a connection soldered into the plate
for the sending unit rather than drill into the tank.
