Lots of baffles in aircraft and racecars contain "lightening" holes. These flanged holes have two purposes. They add strength to the baffles while reducing the weight of the tank. Openings are added toward the ends of construction for the drain, the fuel pickup, the filler neck and the fluid-level sending unit. Occasionally these holes are added as soon as the fabrication method is finish, other times they are made on the flat shell.

Next, the ends and baffles can be riveted into position. The rivet heads are often soldered or brazed in order to stop tank leaks. Ends could afterward be hemmed in and flanged and sealed, or brazed, or soldered utilizing an epoxy type of sealant, or the ends can also be flanged and then welded. After the soldering, brazing and welding has been completed, the fuel tank is checked for leaks.
