Hi there,

I would think that they are tank baffles that have come loose, they are designed to stop the fuel sloshing around to much, they would normally be spot welded in place (if a steel tank) I can find no pic to show this. Is the tank steel or plastic?

The tank is metal. Do I need to have them welded?
Thanks a lot, Mark

Hi there,

If these are looses baffles, you will have to get another tank, as it will not be cost efficient to get it repaired I feel, just have a word to a radiator repairer as they could do this for you.
