Paul,

The baffling looks rather shal we say frugal

It's interesting to see an attempt at a swirl pot (assuming that setup surrounds the pump) but there's no real side to side baffling so cornering could have an adverse effect on fuel supply

It does indeed, the filter attached to the bottom of the pump sits in there...

That might explain why the service manual says you should try to avoid running the car with a very low tank.

Looks like a fuel cell is on the cards then :roll:

Great pics Mr SB :D

Looks like there has been an attempt at baffling, seems that there could have been more?

Wonder why they didn't put any baffling front to back?

That plastic ice cream tub is an interesting idea...
