I still don't see how I would weld the baffles in place before the
tank is closed up. This tank would be about 48" by 24" by 5" The top
has a bevel at the back to conform to an airfoil shape. I reckon I'd
need two baffles (strictly eyeball engineering here) to minimize
sloshing from side to side. maybe just one. If I were to make the
tank out of a single wrapped piece with ends stitched on afterwards,
how would i go about welding the baffles in place? Put the ends on
last? Presumably, the baffles would only need to be tacked as opposed
to a continuous seam all the way around..


Yes, you would wrap the sheet to form the overall tank shape, weld in
a baffle or three working from the open ends and then weld on the ends
to close things up.


'Kay. makes sense. Al I have to do now is learn to weld aluminum!
