Self Sealing
Oil and fuel tanks are vulnerable,
which is why Israeli company
Magam-Safety has developed a self-
sealing flexible fuel tank. The
company claims it prevents
leakage when hit by bullets up to
20mm calibre.
“Standard metal tanks, when
penetrated, immediately begin to
leak fuel,” said Magam chairman
Amit Tesler. “Our self-sealing
technology… Prevents leakage
by self-sealing the holes within
0.1 milliseconds, reducing the
ignition potential and thus saving
lives and equipment.
