What Are Fuel Tank Sealants?
When constructing an aircraft fuel tank, there are microscopic seams from rivets and metal joints. Fuel tank sealers plug these gaps, so gas or jet fuel doesn’t seep out. They are formulated to adhere to materials commonly used when making aircraft fuel tanks, such as steel and aluminium. An aeroplane fuel tank seal also has excellent resistance to common aircraft oils and chemicals, extreme pressure, and a wide range of temperatures. For these reasons and others, some technicians coat the entire inner or outer tank with sealant for maximum protection.High-Performance Fuel System Sealants
