Question fuel problems

my 4x4 saph had had a new tank fitted b4 i got the car, but on track 2day, when it got 2 hath full it seemed 2 splutter coming out of bends and have no power. should there be a baffle in the tank or do i need 2 plumb something up. the tank is shiny new so may be aftermarket. any help welcome, thanks

The genuine tank has a integral swirl pot to prevent this sort of thing, so I suspect it's maybe the incorrect tank perhaps?
