A liquid container 12 such as a fuel or urea tank for a vehicle has a plurality of resilient liquid permeable bodies 20 inserted via an aperture 14 and attached to a mounting 40 by a tether 30, so as to interrupt the free flow of liquid within the container 12 and prevent noise and vibration resulting from the contained fluid sloshing. Fitting the device and a corresponding method of mitigating sloshing are also defined. Each permeable body 20 may have a waist. Tethers 30 may be permitted to move relative to the mounting 40 whilst being captive. In one embodiment, a snap fit device (85, 86 see fig 8) is provided. The bodies may comprise expanded plastic and may occupy 10% to 50% of the container volume.
