I can offer up a slight difference between the TR4 gas tank, and the
TR4A/TR250 tank. The TR4 tank is vented and uses an unvented filler
cap. TR4As and TR250s rely upon vented gas filler caps. Ask me how I
about fuel starvation problems, when using an unvented tank and an early
(unvented) gas cap.
On the subject of fuel cells, I have a fuel cell in my former racecar
TR3B. Instead of baffles, it has a bladder resting in foam, encased in
a steel box. I understand there are companies that custom make bladders
to put into your existing gas tank. Me, I'd locate a reasonable used
stock gas tank, and have it boiled at a radiator shop.
