Someone bought a length of bendy drainage pipe and just shoved that into the tank and says that baffled it quite nicely.

Maybe have a look at doing that?

I wouldn't use unbaffled if it is lay flat tank. The water sloshing backwards when you pull away puts extra stress on your clutch and could burn it out quicker. Probably get away with it using a narrow upright tank.

My 650l flat tank is baffled and I have filled it with bendy drainage pipe with holes in it makes a big difference when stopping no sloshing at all

the flexi perforated hose as I linked to previously can be stuffed into the tank as a continual length in all directions.
Once in it will break up the to and frowing sloshing motion of the water whilst driving, the fact that it is perforated means that no air will get trapped within the hose whilst filling the tank and it will self level.
