I'm getting ready to build a composite gas tank.... approximately 4" wide X 5" tall X 17" long. I've never ridden one of the motorized bikes and wonder how important it would be to put a baffle or two in, to separate the tank, into halves or thirds. Is the sloshing of gas noticeable, or a problem, I wondered. I was thinking, without one baffle behind the filler neck, when coming to an abrupt stop, is it possible for gas to try to spurt out of the cap? Now, I'm using the China Girl cap and I saw a report that gas did come out of his cap (which makes me wonder how normal that is?) But, I'll be starting my tank next week and any feedback concerning the importance or advantage of adding baffles in the tank would sure be greatly appreciated.... Even if you don't have an opinion about building baffles in the tank, I'd like to know if slashing is a problem in the "peanut tank" or any other tanks used for any of you motorized-bikers while riding...........??
Tanks!
