So my aftermarket gas tank has no baffles. Should I be worried?

Only if you are sloshed?

I don't think factory stock had much in the way of baffles, honestly.

Op, my 70's original tank has no baffles from the factory either. I don't think there really need in a bus. It's not like we take turns at a high rate of speed. Wink

But you can get a factory windage tray for your type 4 engine....from a 411/412 or 914! Wink
