ive thought about the rad shop. the local guys here are real hokey, and very proud of that... i think ill be better off doing it myself.
IMO the only way to over baffle is to totally seal the compartments off. as long as the fuel can transfer between the compartments as fast as you can fill it, its not to much. the draw tube is .5" so there is no chance of starving the engine. we build tanks with some regularity, and ive repaired enough tanks made by others to have learned that the single biggest problem is lack of baffling. the slosh of fuel fatigues the ends of the tank and will crack the welds over time. that is the main reason i welded inside at the bottom and up the sides. it is a stronger joint and reduces that chance of fatigue a bit. leaks make me angry...
