Default fuel tank baffling foam

Has anyone ever used the correct fuel tank baffling foam in a classic Impreza standard fuel tank? Just an idea of helping surge as would be quick and easy to install.

Would stop your fuel gauge working but as long as your ok with that I'm sure. It would help

Swirl pot in engine bay works better! Think mine was about 50 for the swirl pot, and 100 for extra pump, and about 5 for the hoses! Easy and can nearly race on reserve now, rather than 2/3 tank- you wont regret it and easy

You get fuel starvation as the tank is a 'saddle tank Ie it has a hump in the middle for the prop- those aren't going to help that if all fuel on wrong side of the tank.

1l or 1.5 enough- use in tank standard pump and then an updated external one in engine bay- can be made to fit under where fuel filter is- just make sure tank has good ends on it to seal fuel pipe onto - that was only thing I had to buy twice! I used push fit and double fuel pipe clips as hate aero quip - no issues for 6 years of race and rally- some good old threads on here

Not that handy, but bottle is on a bracket on passenger chassis leg, and pump clamped to side of suspension pickup- If I go out later will get some for you as engine blew in last event... not fuel related
