Splash shields are on the outside if there.. to protect the tank from rocks and road debris.
Our cars 87-99 100% sure.. unknown on 00+'* do not have any shielding.
There are baffles inside the tank to keep fuel from sloshing around too much. Then there is a strainer sock on the end of the pump to pick up the fuel.

I have ran mine as low as .70 of a gallon... Happened one time and I didn't think I was going to make it to a gas station... No problems... Took a while to fill it all the way up tho...LMAO...
And for everyone, always keep you tank above 1/4 full...

I have quite owned a few GM products with the fuel pump in the tank and the earlier ones all seem to chug and stall when you brake hard, accelerate fast or take a corner to quick. Only one would completely stall out though... a 90 LaSabre. The fuel pump finally gave out and I couldnt believe the debris in it.
