A fuel tank with baffle plates?

Benefits of baffle plates in a fuel tank:

- Reduced fuel sloshing: Baffle plates help to minimize the movement of fuel within the tank, reducing sloshing and preventing fuel starvation in extreme conditions.

- Improved fuel efficiency: By preventing fuel sloshing, baffle plates can help to optimize fuel consumption and improve overall fuel efficiency.

- Enhanced vehicle stability: Reduced fuel sloshing also contributes to improved vehicle stability, especially during acceleration, braking, and cornering.

- Reduced wear and tear: Minimizing fuel sloshing helps to reduce the stress on fuel system components, such as fuel pumps and fuel lines, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for maintenance.

- Safety improvements: Baffle plates can help to prevent fuel from spilling or leaking in the event of an accident, enhancing overall vehicle safety.
