Gas tank baffles
Does anyone know for sure if there are baffles in the gas tank of my 2012 Lariat with a 36 gallon tank, and what they look like.
I went around a sharp corner in my truck with little gas in the tank, and now my gas gage is reading all over the place. I would love to see an inside view of these gas tanks, anyone know where? Thanks

I haven't seen inside one of these tanks to verify but most baffles do not extend to the bottom of the tank. There will be a small gap at the bottom to allow fuel to move from one chamber to the next, otherwise fuel would collect in the chambers and not be useable. Once the fuel level gets to this level the tank would be in effect unbaffled since all of the fuel is free to flow between the chambers.
