When your cargo tank has baffles, what handling effect do you expect?

Question

Accepted Answer

A: There will be less front-to-back surge than there is in tanks without baffles.. Baffles in liquid tanks help to prevent liquids from quickly moving from back to front when braking and front to back on acceleration. Sloshing from side to side is still possible during turns so it is important to understand how the center of gravity can change if turning too quickly on a corner.
