Openings are added toward the ends of construction for the drain, the fuel pickup, the filler neck and the fluid-level sending unit. At times these holes are added when the fabrication process is done, other times they are made on the flat shell.

The ends and the baffles are after that riveted in position. Frequently, the rivet heads are soldered or brazed so as to avoid tank leakage. Ends could next be hemmed in and flanged and soldered, or sealed, or brazed making use of an epoxy type of sealant, or the ends could likewise be flanged and afterward welded.
