In racecars and aircraft, the baffles have "lightening" holes, which are flanged holes which provide strength to the baffles, while likewise reducing the tank's weight. Openings are added toward the ends of construction for the filler neck, the fluid-level sending unit, the drain and the fuel pickup. Occasionally these holes are added once the fabrication process is complete, other times they are made on the flat shell.

Then, the baffles and ends could be riveted into position. The rivet heads are frequently brazed or soldered so as to prevent tank leaks. Ends can next be hemmed in and flanged and sealed, or brazed, or soldered utilizing an epoxy type of sealant, or the ends could even be flanged and then welded. After the welding, soldering and brazing has been completed, the fuel tank is tested for leaks.
