A container (1), in particular a fuel tank for a motor vehicle, is formed by welding together two deep-drawn components. The side walls (14,15) of the container which are adjacent to the welded flange (6) joining the components are then made to bulge outwards, preferably by hydroforming in a mould (20). The result is a container which makes more effective use than a conventional container or tank of the installation space which the flange (6) requires.
