In racecars and aircraft, the baffles have "lightening" holes, which are flanged holes which provide strength to the baffles, while also 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. Every now and then these holes are added when the fabrication method is finish, other times they are made on the flat shell.

Afterward, the ends and baffles could be riveted into place. The rivet heads are often soldered or brazed in order to stop tank leaks. Ends can afterward be hemmed in and flanged and soldered, or sealed, or brazed making use of an epoxy type of sealant, or the ends can also be flanged and afterward welded. After the brazing, welding and soldering has been done, the fuel tank is tested for leaks.
