Subject: baffle broke in Steiger fuel tank


Idaho

Fuel gauge quite working on the ST280. Pulled sender to discover that the vertical tube was bent to the point that it has locked up the rod that runs through it. You can see about 6 inches down from the top some nicks in the tubing. There is a baffle in the tank at that location and it has broken loose it appears at the cab end of the tank and must be cracked at the back end, if you push on it with a long screwdriver it bounces around. Looks to be sheet metal. 

Would like fuel gauge working again so how would you resolve this issue? No access into the tank with out cutting open the top. I would guess in time the baffle will break off as much as it moves around so was thinking of seeing if I could bend it back and forth enough through the sender hole to help it along. Anyone see any issues with it laying in the bottom of the tank. The fuel is pulled about three inches up off the bottom of the tank so I doubt that it would ever cause an issue blocking the fuel port. 

Any other ideas?
