**********Yo,***No problem with the new tanks,* not worried about a tank letting go and finding the bilge full of diesel.** The tanks have no baffles,* so far so good, my boat rarely sees rough Seas. The fuel movement may help suspend contaminates and allow them to be filtered out.* My lehman fuel burn and return* rate is small and internal fuel movement would be nill in a baffled tank.

**********Been better if the had a 2" filler inlet instead of the 1.5"---but I can deal with the slower fill rate.

********* Overall happy with them.** JohnP
