Design and Development of an Arctic 20,000 Gallon Collapsible Fuel Tank. Phase II.

Abstract

ILC Dover, after successfully developing two candidate coated fabrics for use on the 20,000 gallon Arctic Fuel Tank, built four 3,000 gallon tanks for tests in the Arctic in the winter of 1980-81. Two tanks were built from each successful candidate fabric. ILC designed a new suction stub in order to prevent wicking through the threads of the bolts on the filler/discharge assemblies. Commercial products were found to be acceptable for all other hardware. (Author)
