ABSTRACT:
An internal baffle system comprising a plurality of upper stationary baffles spaced along the top interior wall portion of the tank and extending downward to a point within the tank, a second plurality of stationary baffles along the bottom floor portion of the tank and extending upward into the tank, a floor portion positioned substantially along the central interior of the tank for isolating the tank into an upper fluid portion and a lower fluid portion along its length, the floor portion including a centrally located panel member rotatable between open and closed positions, wherein in the open position allows fluid flow between the upper tank portion and the lower tank portion, and in the closed position any fluid contained within the lower half of the tank would be isolated from fluid or space in the upper half of the tank, thus creating a lower center of gravity of the tank, thus creating a lower center of gravity of the tank of the fluid being transported, and at the same time preventing any movement of the fluid that would create a surge within the tank.
