Do 41-48 factory ford tanks have baffles. The one in my car did. But needed to be replaced. Bought a bob drake and it has no baffles. Yet there website says.
"Our tanks are precision die-formed using special high-grade steel. Each is made to exact factory specifications for years of everyday use with no leaks or contaminates from corrosion. We take extra pride in assuring all Drake Gas Tanks are top quality by carefully pressure testing every tank we sell, one at a time. 33 3/4in. x 21in. x 7 3/4in. - 17 gallons".
Going to call them Monday. It came in a previously opened box with the staples removed and re-taped close. And a dented fuller neck.

Thanks
