So, wait... I took the pump out and the tank was empty when I looked inside.

Do you have a picture or diagram of the baffle?

I can't believe I haven't seen what you're talking about, I've done fuel pumps on RX's for years.

Is this on the pump or in the tank?

Would this also cause the charcoal canister issue? Could I be so lucky to kill 2 birds with 1 stone?

Yeah, it should be obvious...

Sorry, I have no picture on me right now.

The fuel pump hangs on a bracket that is lowered into the sump.

Think of it as a "cup" that sits on the bottom.
It's welded to the gas tank itself.
If you shine a light straight down from the hole after removing the fuel pump / bracket, you should see it.
If you don't, see if you spot the welds that broke off at the bottom of the tank.
Try and do this with as little gasoline in the tank; some fuels have dyes which make it hard to see through...

If it's not clear and you cannot see through the gasoline, get a piece of wood (that doesn't fall apart) and prod straight down...
