I still don't see how I would weld the baffles in place before the tank is
closed up. This tank would be about 48" by 24" by 5" The top has a bevel

at
the back to conform to an airfoil shape. I reckon I'd need two baffles
(strictly eyeball engineering here) to minimize sloshing from side to

side.
maybe just one. If I were to make the tank out of a single wrapped piece
with ends stitched on afterwards, how would i go about welding the baffles
in place? Put the ends on last? Presumably, the baffles would only need to
be tacked as opposed to a continuous seam all the way around..


Keep in mind that the baffle need not be attached to both the top and
bottom. Its job is to slow the fuel, not be a perfect seal.
