Gas tank baffles

[Scott Bumpus <sbumpus@shaw.ca>]

I bought a gas tank a while ago and haven't installed it yet as my car has no
engine yet and thus does not require a gas tank at this moment...  Anyway,
after painting it, I discovered it doesn't have any baffles.  After calling
around a little I found out it's getting more difficult to get a tank with
baffles.

My question is, is this a problem?  Are baffles necessary?  What is the down
side to no baffles?

Thanks in advance,

Scott
