There are baffles in the thank. Think of them as walls that only let some liquid through at a time. Either having a large hole or being half walls. That helps with the front to back inertia. The side to side isn’t as much an issue as long as you are on flat land. Uneven terrain like a customers rough driveway can make it very noticeable sloshing side to side. Got a just go slow and be careful on those.
