Does anyone know if the fuel tanks in TL sedans are baffled?

I only ask cause are after a bit of spirited cornering, I can hear the fuel slopping around, and it makes the car a bit ill mannered about until it settles.

On the other hand, can anyone tell me with certainty that the Ralliart's tank was baffled?

All TE-TW tanks have a cup inside that the fuel pump sits in to stop fuel starve during cornering. The cup had an extra splash guard added after 2001 production. Not sure about whether they all had baffles inside though. Can tell you for certain on Monday.

"5.4 Fuel tank

The hard cornering made possible by the chassis tuning can be sustained without fuel starvation due to the specially baffled fuel tank developed for the Ralliart Magna. "

Thanks guys :thumbsup:

Well I for one can vouch for the fact that it doesn't work. I have experienced fuel starvation during cornering with as much as 1/3rd of a tank of fuel.

Same here and I've got a TL, get an internal surge tank fitted, mine cost $400 all up.

Same here, mainly going around right hand corners.

I had my fuel tank replaced because of a broken baffle so they are definitely there!

does anyone know how much a Ralliart fuel tank goes for?

mine started starving with just less than 1/2 a tank last time I was at Wakefield.
