Abstract
A process for manufacturing a fuel tank including a baffle, and an attachment part and an offset part, both made of an incompressible material and being of fixed size and shape, the process including: manufacturing a fuel tank including a wall; making an opening in this wall; through this opening, introducing the baffle into the tank; attaching the baffle to the wall of the tank via its attachment part. The offset and attachment parts together describe a fixed angle, the baffle has a fixed shape and when it is being introduced into the tank, the baffle is rotated to be able to pass through the opening.
