Abstract: A flangeless fuel tank formed of two interfitted cup-shaped tank halves welded along the overlapping portion of the tank halves. Locating protrusions stamped into each tank half provide registration of the halves prior to welding. Spacing dimples stamped into at least one of the fuel tank halves provide a vent space for escaping gases from vaporized coatings.
