Default Fuel Tank Baffle?

i was told that the reason my cars fuel pressure drops on right turns is possibly because of a broken baffle in the tank....

i bought an new aftermarket tank and im looking inside it and all i see is an open top metal square which seems to be where the sending unit float would go.

what is a baffle? i see nothing besides that square on the filler neck side... im really gonna be pissed if i wasted my money on a tank i dont need...

please explain what and where the baffle is supposed to be. and can anyone snap any pics of the inside of a factory tank? appreciate it alot

finally getting my car back after a week cuz pump and tank finnaly came in the mail and are getting done tomorro...

baffles are sheet metal plates that go in the tank they are welded and have holes in them. basicaly they keep the gas form sloshing side to side as much during cornering and acceleration.
