enough to fill your tank! prob need 2 layers. holes 1-2cm should do. and cut a couple of arches out of the bottom of each bottle on the bottom layer so you dont get air locks when you fill the tank.

Post by: rah on April 27, 2012, 05:37:12 am: My oldex Brodex tank was crammed with waste pipe, all cut to a equal lenght and stood up. I added some of them to the baffled tank I have now to ease the sloshing effect whilst stopped at the lights etc.

Works well, never had a problem in 7 yrs of driving around.

yes it would be cheaper to buy a tank you need to spent £120 on these to baffle a 300l tank :o
