A self-sealing fuel tank (SSFT) is a type of fuel tank, typically used in aircraft fuel tanks or fuel bladders, that prevents them from leaking fuel and igniting after being damaged. Typical self-sealing tanks have layers of rubber and reinforcing fabric, one of vulcanized rubber and one of untreated natural rubber, which can absorb fuel when ...
Self-sealing fuel tank of a Messerschmitt Me 262 on display at the Deutsches Museum, Munich. Aircraft fuel tanks are a major component of aircraft fuel systems.They can be classified into internal or external fuel tanks and can be further classified by method of construction or intended use.
A wet wing (also referred to as integral fuel tanks [1]) is an aerospace engineering technique where an aircraft's wing structure is sealed and used as a fuel tank.. The use of wet wings has become common among civilian designs, from large transport aircraft, such as airliners, to small general aviation aircraft.
Records from the National Weather Show that the Sacramento area received rainfall totals ranging from more than half an inch of rain to nearly an inch and a half in the past 24 hours.
Standard fuel bladder tanks sizes range from 100-US-gallon (380 L) to 200,000-US-gallon (760,000 L) capacities and larger. Custom fuel storage bladders and cells are available, although at sizes exceeding 50,000 US gallons (190,000 L) there is an increased spill risk.

A major problem with welded aluminium tanks is weld decay and metal fatigue in the seams due to vibration in service. In response to this, the company started to develop flexible fuel bladders in the early 1940s. One of the earliest examples of this was a composite flexible fuel bladder with self-sealing coatings for the Supermarine Spitfire MkIX.
