Buy about 20 meters of irrigation pipe 80mm diameter, it's perforated so allows water through it but stops the slosh

How do you baffle a water tank?

Lean four shovels against a wall and ask it to take its pick.

Would cost about £325 to Baffle ball that size ibc Cookie  :o
At that sort of cost you could have a custom size baffle tank built surely?

Baffle balls don't fit through the inlet  ;)

Done both - 1 long length and loads of bits cut to 2 meters both work

Personnally I dont think you shud cut corners here and buy a baffled reinforced tank built for purpose of carrying water compared to an ibc tank which is flimsy and unsafe to transport liquids as it wasnt designed for such purpose.  Guessing only using straps to hold it down as well perhaps?? Plenty of insurance repercussions. .......
For you sake, I hope you dont have an accident or anyone colliding into your van either.

Composite IBC's are designed for storage and transportation of bulk liquids, for van use of course its better to have them baffled or even waffled ;D

They are referred to as    [ one time use  ] which is why you see thousands for sale for peanuts. They are very thin plastic and are only designed to carry liquid when full.
I would not be happy to carry a ton of water in an ibc in the back of my van with a home made baffle kit.
