In racecars and aircraft, the baffles contain "lightening" holes, which are flanged holes that provide strength to the baffles, while likewise reducing the tank's weight. Openings are added toward the ends of construction for the fluid-level sending unit, the drain, the fuel pickup and the filler neck. Every so often these holes are added when the fabrication method is finish, other times they are made on the flat shell.

Then, the ends and baffles can be riveted into position. The rivet heads are frequently soldered or brazed in order to avoid tank leaks. Ends can afterward be hemmed in and flanged and sealed, or brazed, or soldered with an epoxy type of sealant, or the ends could also be flanged and after that welded. After the soldering, brazing and welding has been done, the fuel tank is checked for leaks.
