GET LOADS OF 2L COKE BOTTLES (OLD SCHOOL STYLE) CUT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OFF, POKE A FEW HOLES THROUGH EVERY BOTTLE ANDPACK LIKE HONEYCOMB THROUGH THE WHOLE TANK  ;)

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.

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.

Life used to be full of up's and downs....now i hardly ever get up a ladder :) .

I've seen these on the website.. probably be cheaper just to buy a baffled tank.

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