Various baffles in aircraft and racecars hold "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 fluid-level sending unit, the drain, the fuel pickup and the filler neck. Occasionally these holes are added when the fabrication method is complete, other times they are made on the flat shell.

After that, the ends and baffles could be riveted into place. The rivet heads are frequently brazed or soldered so as to prevent tank leaks. Ends could afterward be hemmed in and flanged and soldered, or sealed, or brazed making use of an epoxy kind of sealant, or the ends could likewise be flanged and next welded. After the soldering, brazing and welding has been done, the fuel tank is tested for leaks.
