Allow me to question this statement.  Baffles, trap doors, and sumps are=20
primarily put in for one purpose ... to reduce sloshing so that the fuel =
pump=20
does not run dry.  This is not so critical on float-bowl / carb'ed engine=
s,=20
but very critical on high-pressure EFI systems, which is most everything=20
being produced today.  The fact that baffles also help measurement is a=20
positive side-effect, which just means they put less effort into solving =
this=20
problem.  But I'm considerably sure that they don't baffle just for=20
measurement.

Cheers,
