Qualification Testing of Redesigned F-15/F-4 600 Gallon BI-PAC Fuel Tank Container,

Abstract

In 1985 the F-15/F-4 600 Gallon Bi Pac Container was redesigned. Modifications were incorporated into contract F09063-83-C-1178. Qualification tests were conducted on two production containers in accordance with Federal Test Method Standard No. 101 and Military Standard 648. This test report summarizes the results of the tests and recommends modifications which should be included in current and future production contracts. The redesign F-15/F-4 600 Gallon Bi Pac Fuel Tank Container did not passe all of the required tests. Design changes are recommended to ensure the integrity of the containers and the fuel tanks during shipment and storage.
