A fuel tank (100) comprises an interior wall (105), a sump (110), and a baffle (120) that comprises a center fitting (124), a full-length containment petal (132), a partial-length containment petal (134), a dump tube (118). The full-length containment petal (132) comprises a full-length side edge (133), extending radially outward from the center fitting (124). The partial-length containment petal (134) comprises a partial-length side edge (135), extending radially outward from the center fitting (124). The dump tube (118) is connected to the sump (110). The full-length side edge (133) of the full-length containment petal (132) is longer than the partial-length side edge (135) of the partial-length containment petal (134). All of the partial-length side edge (135) of the partial-length containment petal (134) is attached to a linear portion of the full-length side edge (133) of the full-length containment petal (132).
