I don't recall any issues either but have only had original tanks and as far as I know, caps too. There are no baffles in the photo Ross posted of a typical 51-6 tank. I reposted his photo a couple of pages ago in post $909 if you want to look at it. I seriously doubt the repro tanks would be any different. I have not torn any tanks apart but have looked in a few of different years and don't remember seeing any baffles in others.

I do remember a strange notch in the filler of one of the repro tanks. That photo is on the forum somewhere in another leak thread and I also remember the filler necks of some repros needing to be slightly bent to fit the openings. Could those be stock from another vehicle as the reason for the mis bend and just welded on a new tank body.
