Anyone know for sure if there are baffels in the ITR fuel tank? I forgot who, but someone told me this last wEEk. I don't think so, but the part numbers are diff for ITR and nonITR gas tanks.

yshi - who just relEEsed some hot gas

 

Hmm...
I remember reading about people having to pound some baffles or something out of the way when installing the Endyn/Bosch fuel pumps!

I'd guess this would justify/rationalize the diff. part #'s, but don't know for sure either.

 

Sounds like the latest craze now... ITR fuel tank in your LS y0! It lets you go around corners faster y0!

 

Actually the latest craze is having stolen itr parts

B2 - who is bitter.

 

hrm, funny j00 should mention an LS...

yshi - whose actually posting this question after yeahLS posed this question to me

 

That's funny... Does an LS and a GSR have the same fuel tank part number?

 

It would make sense for Honda engineers to put baffles in the fuel tank. Eliminates the sloshing of fuel during high speed turns.

I coulda swore there weren't baffles in the ITR tank (or fewer, at least) as part of its "diet".

 

I doubt that's one of the places they'd skimp.

EDIT: I stand corrected, see below.

And I know why yeahLS is asking this...damn gas sloshing around the gas tank under hard cornering...not fun

 

So, I guess then if you have an ITR, that you'd prolly like an LS or GSR fuel tank... Or, if you're that hard core, just put a fuel cell in... Most interesting...

 

Yeah I have my back seats totally removed. Had a 1/8 tank of gas the other day and when I braked to a stop hard I could hear it quite clearly sloshin around. Actually freaked me until I read this.
