In a preferred embodiment, the baffle is constructed of a fiberglass filter media material. Also in a preferred embodiment, the baffle is collapsible so that it can be inserted into an opening in the top of a plastic fuel tank and then allowed to return to its original larger height whereby it will be held by a biasing pressure in a desired position within the tank.
