Looks good,cant wait to see it finished.
Just a thought; if you build a small swirl pot into the bottom you wouldnt need to baffle it.

Hi oz...putting a swirlpot /sump in anyway as my engines a turbo... the baffles will be to reduce slosh and help keep the centre of gravity of the tank from large deflections to the left or right helping to reduce the chances of the back end wanting to let loose

Hi Sven after a rehash of the exact shape I wanted it comes in at 54.5 litres or a smidge over 12 gallons so it will have pretty good range I guess in the region of 400 miles

Blooming heck Kev

You don't hang about when you are on a mission

That is going to be a serious long range fuel tank

My old bones would fall apart before that tank is empty
