[SOLVED] Fuel tank replacement and baffling
Hi
My Toyota Yaris 1999's fuel tank is leaking due to a rusty exterior. I have looked at the possibilities of sanding it down, but because it is very rusty, and I do not dare to use any power tools on it (because of possible explosion danger), I have decided that I want to purchase a new one. However, the new tanks I have found surfing around the web are all said to be "empty" inside. My old tank does however contain some parts inside of it, for example some sort of a plastic container right underneath the fuel pump. These parts are sitting fastened inside the tank, and are too large to be removed through the top hole. I am therefore wondering if I have to worry about new tanks having such parts inside? And, does anyone know exactly what these parts are for? Thanks in advance. I can include pics if necessary. Sincerely, norwegian who wants to keep driving his kickass 99 yaris Last edited by Orange; 11-19-2015 at 09:11 PM. Reason: To inform people that the issue was solved |

Actually that is the fuel level sender and pump assembly. It does fit back out through the top hole:

They might be referring to the baffling inside the tank.

Hi again, thanks for replies, and sorry for being so late to respond myself.

I think this might be it! It's fun tho that the word baffling could also mean to confuse.. I will include some pictures this time to clarify. Again, the question is, do I need to worry about these parts coming with a new tank? |

Those are the baffles. They are part of the tank (as you noticed they are not removable through the pump hole), so they should definitely come with a tank. By empty they likely mean that it does not include the pump and sender unit.
