fuel cell question
I am going to start building my "copperhead" style gas tank next week at school and i was wondering how important it is to put baffles in it. The truck is going to be used mostly as a weekend cruiser. Also what kind of sending unit would you guys recommend?

Re: fuel cell question
I can't imagine it will cost you much to put baffles in now. Maybe time and materials. If you decide you want them later it will be a bit more of a challenge
Baffles are also important when turning, especially on those looped on ramps for freeways.

Re: fuel cell question
i would put baffles in it. make sure you clip the corners of the baffle pieces to allow fuel to roll around.
