Which new gas tank
'91 3.1 gas tank is rusty and has some sludge so looking into having it cleaned or replaced. I've searched threads and nobody seems to like Spectra but haven't noticed anything about Liland or Dorman listed on Rockauto. Not a big Dorman fan but it seems to be the only one that says it has the baffles. Summit doesn't have the baffles either. Any opinions on Liland or Dorman or tank cleaning?

I installed it 5 years ago and I don't recall if it did or not. I don't remember seeing plastic inside.

Be curious to see some photos of what it looks like, that would help folks give thoughts on cleaning vs. replacement

Re: Which new gas tank
I have a Spectra that I bought for a square body Suburban and it has a fuel "bucket" in the bottom where GM didn't have anything like that form the factory. I would wager that the tank for the 3rd gen is similar
