So after vauxhall having my car for a number of days.
My fuel tank is a baffle less tank.

Anyone know why? As i can hear the fuel and is f*****g annoying.

So have they replaced it with one that doesn't have baffles then or did it never have them? Mine was the same as yours and I kicked off until they put a new one in for me

that has been a known problem for ages on the 1.7cdti
surly they would have sorted this out by now

**cornishtaz** · 25:th-Apr-2015, 16:12:18

My old 2.0cdti was baffleless but the VXR does have baffles. Wonder if it's a diesel thing

**tucpal** · 25:th-Apr-2015, 16:15:51

never really heard any problems with the petrol cars having this issue
but the diesels are very common with this problem

**sheppy1** · 25:th-Apr-2015, 16:33:12

Yeah mines the 1.7 diesel which would explain why I had the issue

**bhalay207** · 25:th-Apr-2015, 22:29:35

I can hear my fuel sometimes, but only when its been filled and it sloshes about when i stop.

Is this normal?

**sheppy1** · 26:th-Apr-2015, 09:54:26

That's normal but indicates you don't have baffles in your tank. Mine used to be the same as yours and it annoyed me so I spoke with Vauxhall and asked them to installed a tank with baffles and now I never hear fuel sloshing

**bhalay207** · 26:th-Apr-2015, 15:10:57

Are they likely to do that under warranty though?

They did for me

***Lewis6317*** · 26:th-Apr-2015, 17:24:55

did they change the tank or just add the baffle?

**sheppy1** · 26:th-Apr-2015, 17:28:24

Not sure Yanno, they never actually said and it was one of the first things I had done so never thought to ask.

***Rusty2009*** · 26:th-Apr-2015, 19:22:28

They would of just added the baffles like I told you Lewis it's a conmen problem on the 1.7CDTI.

**sam2020**

mine don't have baffles if i ask them will they fit them for me

**bhalay207** · 22:nd-Sep-2015, 20:56:41

I wouldn't have thought so but no harm in trying

Let us no the outcome bud. @rusty2009 they said would have to be a new tank as its a sealed part
