Re: fuel tank

I think what you want to do is control the fuel more during cornering. Here's a pic showing the baffles in my tank built by Fuel Cell Guy.

Re: fuel tank

You need a cup for the pickup tube to sit in so when you corner and stop and go the gas doesn't wash away from the pickup as well as the baffles
