| Air Portable Fuel Containers (APFCs) have been developed by FPT for the transfer of fuel, oil and other liquids. APFC's are in active service with the UK and other Countrys Ground Forces, Air Force, Special Forces and disaster relief agencies. With a capacity of up to 430 gallons (1,955 litres), these fuel containers have been thoroughly proven in the South Atlantic and Gulf War, helping to maintain fuel supply lines to the forward positions of the battle zone. APFCs are capable of being airlifted in transport aircraft. When empty, the containers are collapsible, which allows for easier transportation. APFCs comprise a filament wound structure that is coated with a synthetic rubber formulation to bind each layer. The finished container is able to withstand a great deal of punishment, including multiple airdrops, a feature unique to the FPT product, including parachute drops and being towed behind vehicles. | |
