'88GT
The radiator shop that's cleaning my tank's interior just advised that a PLASTIC BAFFLE IS CRACKED. The caller said it "MIGHT" be a problem, but recommended going forward with a $145 cleaning job.

I have not seen the crack, and it's an hour round trip.

Do you have any experience with this, and an opinion?

THANKS

Mine is cracked and has been for some time.

Helps if I read the title .There is nothing to worry about if the gas tank baffle is cracked .It will still stop gas from sloshing around .And did you take a peak inside the tank to see what he is cleaning out for your 145.00 ? Chances are pretty good that unless the car has been sitting out in a field for 10 years , the tank will already be clean .I had my tank off for the first time in 7 years last summer and it was spotless inside .

This '88 sat in the sun, next to a garage, for more than 10 years. It was full of animal nests and windblown junk - in horrible condition. But it had 40k miles on it, so seemed to be worth resurrecting. I pulled the tank because (1) fuel pressure was about 30# and (2) the fuel gauge was inoperative. Both have been fixed. Inspecting the interior of that tank I found a load of crap - hence the cleanout.

THANKS for the input. I'll go forward with that tank -
