The FLEXCEL Liquid Containment system is a self-contained liquid storage system which can rapidly dispense its contents (fuel, water, decontaminants, oil, etc.), from a rubber bladder for military and/or commercial use and has been sole-sourced by FMW to the DoD
This liquid containment system is available in 55 and 80 GL configurations and requires no special equipment or training,making it the simplest way to move and use liquids. Uses include helicopter and aircrafts, M1A1, M2 IFC, M113 and other vehicular refueling capabilities
Field refueling is FLEXCEL's specialty. Units can be airdropped, without a parachute, to military tanks and armored personnel carriers. This system also transports and delivers oil, other fuels and several decontaminants.
FLEXCEL kits are currently available in 55 and 80-gallon sizes. A kit consists of two bladders each, with two 20’ x 1" dispensing hoses and a harness assembly for mounting the bladders onto vehicles.
