is there an easy way to tell if they are in there?

its either that or my fuel guage is on the blink

put a 5l jerry can in the other day and it went up to around 1/4 of a tank

then put another £15 in and it went beyond 3/4 full :?

Take the pump housing out and there should be a White plastic semi circle they to help with surge.

Im not sure tif there are any other baffles.

im just thinking that maybe a previous owner has put tank foam etc in there to help with surge, and thats why it doesnt take alot to fill it up?

are you going off the gauge only...

More likely the sender unit and the resistor float causing the issue.

yes

evogone - yeh most probably, just wanted to know if there was an easy way to tell if someone had but baffles in it (i have had bad experiences with the crappy plastic screw ring on the fuel pumps :lol: )
