how disappointing, so its not something baffle or extending the fuel pickup to the center and etc can fix? I wonder how it looks like inside the tank hmm

The problem is the saddle shape, the center is the high point. I assume they did this to lower the center of gravity and didn't push the car hard enough to find the problem. Maybe the idiot that designed the cooling system also designed the gas tank.
