All TSS ProtecTank products have undergone
thorough ballistic testing
The fuel tank is a crucial and vulnerable part of your armoured vehicle. It is the source of the engine’s power, as well as a possible explosion threat when shot at, due to the low flashpoint of its contents.
To maximise the potential and minimise the dangers of the fuel tank, an existing fuel tank can be turned into a self-sealing ProtecTank. A TSS ProtecTank can be equipped with a specially developed fuel-swellable foam. This coating limits leakage to a few drops when the fuel tank is punctured or shot at. Besides tests with two DM51 hand grenades, our fuel tanks have also undergone and withstood ballistic tests with the following types of ammunition: 3.57 Magnum, .44 Magnum, 9mm NATO, 7.62 AP and 5.56 NATO ammunition.
A TSS ProtecTank makes sure the fuel stays in the fuel tank, where it is protected from fire and explosions. Also, fuel that is in the fuel tank is fuel that can be used to get away from a dangerous situation.

All self-sealing fuel tanks incorporate a number of layers of Kevlar®, Twaron® or Dyneema® under a special protective polyurethane flame retardant outer coating. This outer coating is resistant to numerous chemicals. The combination provides protection from the threat of 12.7 and 14.5 gauge machine gun ammunition.
The self-sealing modifications can be applied to existing fuel tanks made of steel, stainless steel or HDPE. 90% of all conversions can be made on original OEM fuel tanks.
TSS International can also offer tailor made fuel tanks, according to customer specification.
