FUEL EASY
EXTERNAL LOAD FUEL CONTAINER
for
FUEL TRANSPORTATION
 
The Fuel-Easy system is a fully collapsible external fuel container for safe and cost-efficient fuel transportation. It is the definitive product for the transport of fuel by helicopter and offers the operator greatly increased fuel hauling capability, easier fuel handling, reduced cost and waste, and the assurance of clean fuel. It is proven to work in the toughest conditions around the world, from the high Artic to the deserts of Africa.
 
 
SAFE
The Fuel-Easy's aerodynamic design allows it to be flown at a helicopter's maximum cruise speed while remaining predictable and stable. A cargo load that can change shape in flight can be dangerous, but the Fuel-Easy flies safely and holds no surprises in flight. Its rigid frame guarantees that the bladder maintains a symmetrical configuration in the air, so, unlike fuel drums, it tends not to spin on the hook. When flown at partial loads
the bladder collapses into itself, creating the specific amount of aerodynamic drag necessary to fully stabilize the unit in flight.
 
 
 
 
APPLICATIONS:
  • Wildland Firefighting
  • Oil & Gas Exploration
  • Resupply Operations
  • Mineral Exploration
  • Forestry Operations

 

 

With a size for every helicopter, the Fuel-Easy can efficiently

transport a maximum load of fuel to the remote job site on the

hook. Then the fuel may be off-loaded into a remote site

storage tank, such as the Terra Tank.
