A metallic positive expulsion fuel tank with stress free weld seams may include a first hemispherical shell with a first edge; and a hemispherical rolling metal diaphragm with a first edge attached to the first hemispherical shell along matching first edges. A second hemispherical shell with a first edge may be attached to the first edge of the first hemispherical shell by a first weld seam thereby forming two interior chambers separated by the hemispherical rolling metal diaphragm. A pressurized gas inlet may be attached to the first hemispherical dome; and a fuel outlet fixture may be attached to the second hemispherical dome. The first weld seam may have been stress relieved by a localized post-weld heat treatment confined to an immediate vicinity of the first weld seam.
