Forklift Fuel Tanks

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

In aircraft and racecars, the baffles hold "lightening" holes, which are flanged holes that provide strength to the baffles, while likewise reducing the tank's weight. Openings are added toward the ends of construction for the fuel pickup, the filler neck, the fluid-level sending unit and the drain. Every so often these holes are added when the fabrication process is done, other times they are created on the flat shell.

The ends and the baffles are after that riveted in place. Often, the rivet heads are soldered or brazed in order to stop tank leakage. Ends can then be hemmed in and flanged and soldered, or sealed, or brazed utilizing an epoxy kind of sealant, or the ends could even be flanged and then welded.
