Anyone know a fuel tank welder in south Florida?
I’m setting up my car for some autocrossing and maybe a little road racing. I would like to put some baffles in my tank. It’s been empty and open for 6-7 years so no residual fuel concerns. I’m not looking for anything crazy just want to reduce slosh and pickup starvation.
Thanks

For what it is worth....I have made a reservoir and attached it to the sending unit....just in case no one wants to strike and arc in you tank.

Dub, that’s an option although it wouldn’t do much for the slosh.
Does anyone know if fuel slosh is “REALLY” an issue when throwing the car around corners in an autocross?
Hadez, good idea, I guess I’m off to the boat repair shops now; I could just bring it with when I finally get over there. Any bites yet?
A new tank already configured is probably the better way to go; it’s only money, right?

Thanks for the help; thinking I'll just drag it to someone local and have them tune it up... The PO had the tank replaced and it's in good shape. It'll be tough to justify the $$$ on a specialty tank. I wonder what the going rate for this type of work is?
