Fuel Tanks for Forklift

In racecars and aircraft, the baffles hold "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 drain, the fuel pickup, the filler neck and the fluid-level sending unit. Every now and then these holes are added when the fabrication method is complete, other times they are created on the flat shell.

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