Fuel Bladder Above Ground Temporary Fuels Storage Solutions

The SEI fuel bladder Fuel-Easy system is a fully collapsible external liquid container

for safe and cost-efficient transportation by helicopter, to and from remote location.

It is proven to work in the toughest conditions around the world, from the cold Arctic, to the arid deserts of Africa.

Fuel bladder systems offer a wide range of improvements over conventional fuel drums when it comes to helicopter transportation safety and efficiency. This is a vital issue when confronting wildland fires in remote or inaccesible locations.

There are more than 2,000 wildfires in British Columbia every year. Through quick suppresive action 92% of all wildfires in British Columbia are controlled at less than tour hectares (9.8 acres) damage. One of the keys to preventing wildfires from expanding is the early detection and aggresive inicial attack.

SEI is manufacturing water storage tanks and fuel bladders since 1978, working since to aid the wildfire supression industry.

The Fuel-Easy system makes the transportation of fuels or other liquids by helicopter a risk free and smooth operation.

Characteristics

A lightweight structure that can be assembled easily under 5 minutes. The fuel bladder is made of high strength urethane coated nylon, a fexible and damage proof material. The frame of the fuel bladder is high strength aluminium, bronze or steel.

The fuel bladder shows increased savings compared to a fuel drum. Because of its aerodynamic design, the fuel bladder can be flown at a helicopters maximum cruise speed while remaining predictable and stable in flight. A cargo load that changes shape in flight can be dangerous. The sturdy yet light metal frame of the fuel bladder guarantees a symmetrical position while flying. Unlike fuel drums, the Fuel-Easy system doesnt tend to move around on the hook..

When flown with partial cargo, the fuel bladder collapses itself, creating the required aerodynamic drag to stabilize the aircraft in flight.

Standard pipe fittings for the fuel bladder system are 2 (5cm) NPT Flange on top for all the fill piping and a 2 (5cm) NPT Flange on the bottom for the outlet piping. Fuel Easy bladders can be equipped with different piping diameters as optional equipment according to your needs.

Fuel bladders are specially available for potable water and a variety of chemicals.
