> Fuel bladder and crashwothly tank for aircrafts and boats
Muststore® TYPE B fuel on-board bladder tanks are used in boats, armours, aircraft or gliders replacing advantageously standard rigid and flexible tanks. They exist in crashworthy or self sealing versions.
Our crashworthy and self sealing on-board bladders are usually designed according to the customer specific dimensions. Musthane uses different technologies and various type of polymers to achieve outstanding life expectancy and performance.
The coated fabrics used in our bladder tanks are made of Urethane or Nitrile rubber. The textile used gives the crashworthy performace to the on-board bladder tank.
The self-sealing performance is obtained thanks to a very unique complex leveraging the use of coated fabrics and high performance foams. In some application aramids allow to increase the self sealing performance.
These fuel bladders are equipped with a specific foam avoiding explosion and unbalancing effects of the liquids. The nature of the foam is defined according to the liquid (fuel or water). This foam occupies all the space inside the bladder tank with a very low impact in the total volume acceptancy of the tank (in total less than 5% volume is lost due to the addition of this foam).
Musthane offers all necessary fittings and accessories including pumps, connectors and hoses to enable you to assemble a "ready-to-use" kit to your vehicle, aircraft, UAV or boat.
The shape of the tank can be designed to fit perfectly to the available space in the boat, the aircraft, armour or UAV.
Technical characteristics
Our Muststore® TYPE B tanks are made of :
- a high resistance elastomer chosen for the application to store fuel, waste or drinking water (Polyurethane, PVC…).
- a specific foam enabling the tank to be self supported with a loss of only 5% of the useful volume.fittings to fill, empty or degassing the tank (see fittings).
- Dimensions are made to measure from the drawing or sketch sent by the customers OR from the measurement defined by our technicians in collaboration with our customers.
