This is normally done out of foam board. Next, design issues are dealt with, consisting of where the drain, outlet, seams, baffles and fluid level indicator will go. The craftsman should find out the alloy, thickness and temper of the metal sheet he would utilize to make the tank. Once the metal sheet is cut into the shapes required, a lot of pieces are bent to be able to make the basic shell and or the baffles and ends for the fuel tank.
Numerous baffles in racecars and aircraft 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 fuel pickup, the filler neck, the fluid-level sending unit and the drain. Occasionally these holes are added once the fabrication process is finish, other times they are created on the flat shell.
The ends and the baffles are next riveted in position. Frequently, the rivet heads are soldered or brazed so as to avoid tank leakage. Ends could then be hemmed in and flanged and sealed, or brazed, or soldered with an epoxy kind of sealant, or the ends could likewise be flanged and afterward welded. After the brazing, welding and soldering has been done, the fuel tank is checked for leaks.
