  The Fuel-Easy helicopter fuel tank system, designed by SEI Industries Ltd., is designed for aerial transport to and from forest fires in the safest, fastest mode of transportation possible. The aerodynamic design of the Fuel-easy(tm) helicopter fuel tank allows for aerial transport via helicopter in maximum cruise speed. Fuel-Easy offers the operator greatly increased fuel-hauling capability compared to the fuel drum.

The shell of the helicopter fuel tank is made of radio frequency welded polyester or nylon scrim coated fabric. Fuel-Easys body is cradled by vertical straps to create points for a lifting harness. Its five minute set-up allows for a fully usable product to be filled and in the air in less time. Pliable, puncture safe material allows for full collapse when not in use. When collapsed, the unit can be hand carried in a pair of bags. This external fluid container is safe as well as cost efficient. Fuel-Easy offers the operator greatly increased fuel-hauling capability compared to the fuel drum with the added convenience of knowing clean fluids will stay clean and contaminant free until needed.

Camlock fittings are used on both top and bottom of the helicopter fuel tank. The bottom camlock fitting allows for gravity draining. No vapor, less waste provides portable fluid for forest fire suppression work as well as ferrying operations. The system is available in three sizes. Large units use a galvanized steel frame, or slightly smaller units using a cast aluminum frame.

This helicopter fuel tank has been tested in the most rugged conditions. Predictable and stable in flight, the Fuel-Easy system has been tested from the Arctic to African deserts. This aerial transportation system has performed equally well under any conditions. This translates into safe delivery of fluid each and every time.

Optional Features

Optional ground hoses, optional fittings, separate ground wire to connect the bladder with the stand of the helicopter fuel tank.

Safety Features

The Fuel Easy helicopter fuel tank has a rigid frame that maintains its configuration in any condition. A partial load will allow the frame to collapse into itself to allow for full stabilization while in flight.

Safety is top priority to SEI Industries, Ltd. Well established, respected, trusted and utilized by Latin America, North America and Canada, SEIs full service facility is conveniently located in North Delta, British Columbia.
