As soon as the metal sheet is cut into the shapes needed, lots of pieces are bent so as to make the basic shell and or the ends and baffles for the fuel tank.

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

After that, the baffles and ends could be riveted into position. The rivet heads are frequently brazed or soldered in order to avoid tank leaks. Ends can then be hemmed in and flanged and sealed, or brazed, or soldered making use of an epoxy type of sealant, or the ends could likewise be flanged and next welded. After the brazing, welding and soldering has been completed, the fuel tank is checked for leaks.
