I have a rusty fuel tank which I'm going to fix up to use on my 1930 Case L. There is a loose sheet metal baffle inside the main compartment of the tank. Does anybody know what the layout of the inside of the tank was? Where does the baffle go? How was it fastened in place? What happens if I leave it just bouncing around inside the tank? I'm thinking of cutting the tank open, fastening the baffle in place, and closing the tank back up.

Please help me out here, I have no idea how the innards of these tanks were set up.

First off, the NOS tank is, unfortunately, not a tank for an L.

Second, is there a baffle plus the divider between the gasoline (starter) tank and the kerosene main tank? I was assuming, for no good reason, that there was a divider bwteeen the tanks, and that in the main tank there was a baffle of some sort to reduce the sloshing of a full kerosene tank going over a bump. If there's just one piece in there I'm not going to be running on kerosene, so maybe I'll just leave well enough alone, slosh it out with cleaner, slosh some good prep solution, and then coat it up with a fuel tank preservative like from Eastwood or POR15. What do you think?

I have a C and a L, and they both have one. Now here's a suggestion. Unless you plan on using both sides of the baffle for fuel, (like to run kerosene and gasaoline), I'd just take the baffle out altogether. 98% of the world won't know it's there or not, and will provide more capacity without have two shut off valves.

The other option... go bid on the NOS tank on eBay that is still in the original crate.

The baffle was soldered in vertically crosswise mid-tank on my C. It was loose and I allowed the goo to glue it down while I was coating the tank. I can't recall noticing there being a baffle in my L's tank when I coated it, but I would imagine its there. If the lttle C's tank had one surely the much larger L tank would too.

Get you a flashlight and a inspection mirror and you will either see where a baffle was once soldered in.... or that the back of your starting tank has rotted clean off and fell into the main tank.
