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 drain, the fuel pickup, the filler neck and the fluid-level sending unit. Every so often these holes are added when the fabrication method is finish, other times they are made on the flat shell.

The baffle and the ends are after that riveted in place. Normally, the rivet heads are soldered or brazed so as to stop tank leakage. Ends could after that be hemmed in and flanged and soldered, or sealed, or brazed with an epoxy type of sealant, or the ends could even be flanged and then welded. After the brazing, welding and soldering has been finished, the fuel tank is checked for leaks.
