I was just thinking that, while I've lurked on and off, I've rarely engaged, so it's interesting that I have a 3rd page on my post. That said, now I have to eat some humble pie.
When my tank came in, I was on one leg and hobbling around. I saw the pie pan, tried my best to get an internal picture, and saw the other side of the tank - no baffle. But when I was boxing it up to return it today, I reached in and - well, there's a baffle. It's just not the same style I had seen in other posts. I'll post a picture this weekend when I paint it.
That said - thanks Xracerx13 for Brian's email - he got back to me right away, and actually it seems he and the tech (Bill) were both responding. They've been helpful, even taking pictures of the tanks they have - they have 21 right now by the way, and unlike Spectra (who makes a million tanks) - they knew exactly what we were talking about. I ordered from somewhere nearby so I could return it if it was wrong- but actually, GBodyparts has a better price even with shipping. I had to apologize to them for essentially wasting their time but based on their engagement, I will feel good about ordering from them going forward.
Some of this I'm over documenting because I read through so many posts myself to try to figure out where to order the right tank and there were so many contradictions - so maybe this helps someone.
So this weekend - I'm painting the tank black, pulling the fuel rail and injectors, blowing out the rail, inspecting and soaking the injectors, and blowing out the fuel lines - I am pretty sure I'll find I need new fuel lines but I need to clear them anyway before I remove them. I promised myself I wouldn't order more parts until I got some work done - I don't need to add to my pile of "Seemed like the right idea at the time" parts.
There - I have it in writing before the Buick community that I WILL WORK ON MY GN this weekend!!!!
