Re: Building an Under Bed Fuel Tank from Scratch

you can skip the baffles IF you run a modern EFI bucket style fuel pump arrangement.

this saves alot of work on your end, and takes the design issues out of it.

modern cars dont use baffled metal tanks.. they use blown plastic tanks, and have the pump in a "bucket" that keeps it submerged,even if the tank is near empty.

that said.... your welding has to be up to snuff.. welding tanks is not easy or fun...
if you have a sheetmetal brake, use it to cut down on the number of welds needed...
