MAIN FUEL TANK OR ONLY LONG RANGE TANK?
TURTLE-PAC boat gas tanks are often used as the main fuel tank as there are numerous advantages over rigid tanks.
FUEL QUALITY GUARANTEED:
No airspace means no condensation – no fuel contamination.Fuel bugs less likely to form compared to inside of rigid tanks.
SAFETY:
No air in tank means no airlocks possible even if the tank is almost empty, a priceless safety feature in rough water when a stalling engine can mean a capsize.In case of fire there are no vapours contained in the tank to cause an explosion.
LIFE EXPECTANCY:
Ten years plus. Flexible construction means there is no rigid weld to crack as fuel is sloshing about partially empty rigid tank. Turtle-Pac will exceed the pressure resistance of aluminium tanks typically by 300%. Turtle-Pac marine bladder tanks are constructed by electronically fused seams. The seam’s strength equals the fabric strength, and it is maintenance free. No glue or chemical bonding is used as those techniques are prone to leaks.

Turtle-Pac pioneered in the mid 1980s, the unique skill and technology used today. We haven’t stopped pioneering since, an ongoing R&D program ensures our leading edge is maintained. Every aspect of manufacture is geared towards exceptional reliability. New product samples are destruction tested and trialled in the field in the most arduous conditions before release into the market. The knowledge gained is applied throughout our production, to your benefit. Every aircraft tank is pressure tested, and seams are foam tested and inspected. Only after all tests and inspections are passed satisfactorily, is the Tank issued a Quality Assurance and Acceptance Certificate.
TURTLE-PAC’S FABRICS
STANDARD GRADE fabrics are soft fabrics, easy to fold, compact and lightweight. Suitable for Avgas, and chosen by some users for Kerosene (jet fuel) as well, due to it’s user-friendly characteristics up to 529 gallons. However, STANDARD GRADE is not recommended for kerosene.
EXTRA GRADE fabrics are heavy duty. Suitable for Avgas and Kerosene (jet fuel). Recommended to users of jet fuel and others operating in harsh environments. Compared to Standard Grade: Not as soft and user friendly and will take up about 30% more space folded and about 30% heavier.
CONSTRUCTION
Electro Fuse Welding, using precision dies, electronically fuses all seams. The seam’s strength equals the fabric strength, and is maintenance free. No glue or chemical bonding is used, as those techniques are prone to leaks.
TANKS PRESSURE RESISTANCE
Standard Grade fabric tanks are tested to 5 psi during quality control tests. (Aluminium ferry tanks only tested to 3.5 psi). Standard Grade fabric Turtle-Pac Ferry Tanks will exceed the pressure resistance of aluminium ferry tanks typically by 300%.
CRASH RESISTANCE
Turtle-Pac tanks are a collapsible structure and do not require ventilation; no vapours are contained in the tank to cause an explosion during crash or fire. Being a soft structure, the tank can and will alter shape under high “G” loads, which increases its puncture and burst resistance. Furthermore, the tanks self-wedge into the fuselage, gripping by friction. This reduces the load on the tie points considerably. Turtle-Pac Ferry Tanks have been used since 1991 and during this period not a single tank has failed, even though some aircraft made forced landings (due to causes not related to our tank!).
This combination of factors adds up to a far safer tank than aluminium ferry tanks.
LIFE EXPECTANCY
Some of our tanks have been used successfully with Avgas for just over 10 years now. However, Kerosene use in Standard Grade fabric can reduce this period by some years.
