I made my own steering tank. $26 What do you think of my baffling. They are billet so they must be good right. :drive2:

The main outlet baffle was made out of nessesity because I did a test with just a bung with a hole and filled the tank with water and as it was draining it made a huge vortex (cavitation) and took forever to drain. So I added the baffle and the water drained out in half the time and no disturbances in the water.

So as to not have any other strange fluid motion with the intlet I added a baffle to it but its more of a diverter/disipater(whats the word Im looking for?)

I also made a neck to run a stock saginaw P pump cap.

The tank is a $8 Summit clearance find and holds 32oz (26 at cold fill line)
I know its not a show peice or name brand shiney thing but I think it will work good. what say you

Looks good! If it works then rock on but why didn't you run the baffle all the way up? Wouldn't this work even better?

Then there would be no room for both baffles. And material limitations.
