Baffled gas tanks?

Which year(s) and models of third gen cars came with baffled gas tanks? I am tired of running out of gas with a 1/4 tankfull during hard cornering. Does anyone have one for sale? Is it true all '90-'92 cars have the baffled tank?

Thank you!!

It is my understanding that all 1LEs, at least mine, came with 18 gallon specially baffled gas tanks to always makes sure there is fuel even in hard cornering.

My 91 Z28 and my dad's 92 RS both have the 16 gal baffled gas tank.

I have a 92rs but when I'm low on gas mine also tries to stall in a hard stop or a quick corner. So I suppose that I don't have a baffled tank.
