If you had the tank made (as opposed to buying it from Marlin), you could have had either a swirl pot or baffeling fitted. I think the larger tank Marlin supplies has a swirl pot (not positive).

Isn't it going to be very difficult to do anything with the tank now?

A swirl pot will end up lower than the fuel pick up if you weld it to the base of the tank. Only solution I can think of is to cut a slot into the tank either side and slide in an ally plate to make a baffel. This would need ally welding.

Personally I would leave it. If there are any problems when the car is finished, the tank is easy to get to.

As for the fuel sender. Have you had a quote from a breakers to get one from a later model?
