ATL’s new FluoroCell bladders are a revolutionary step forward in the manufacturing of a totally flex-fuel compatible bladder. FluoroCells readily accept and resist (a) high-aromatic gasolines; (b) ethanol oxygenated fuels E10, E50 and E85 and E100; (c) Jet Fuel A,B,4,5,8,10; (d) diesel, bio-diesel, bio-butanol, MTBE, (e) crude oil, Bunker C, #4 (f) octane boosters, (g) methanol and even nitro-methane! No other bladder tanks can resist this full range of hi-performance fuels. Years of exhaustive research and testing have yielded a bladder with

• Superior scuff, cut and abrasion resistance over conventional fuel cell bladders.

• No “extractables” like “gum residue” or “plasticizers” to leach out and contaminate fuel.

• Unparalleled tolerance for continuous temperatures of 250°F (120°C) with excursions to 400°F (200°C)!

• Environmentally “green” in that they reduce fuel vapor “diffusion” emissions to 1/100th that of conventional fuel bladders, and without need of any “barrier” coating.

• Can be fitted with internal baffles, pump mounts, collectors etc., either during cell manufacture or later as an upgrade. In contrast, today’s vulcanized bladders are very difficult to modify once cured.

• Readily repairable if ever damaged, unlike conventional fuel cells which absorb fuels and oils making them difficult to patch reliably.

• Made from renewable and domestic resources rather than derived from petroleum as all current-day fuel cells are. FluoroCell’s reinforcing-fabrics are produced from organic materials and then coated with elastomers synthesized from base minerals.

• Pliable and fully deformable, yet totally self-supporting in their containers or cavities. This “stoutness” feature prevents FluoroCell bladders from being whipped and slammed about in their enclosures. That same self-support feature also allows FluoroCell bladders to maintain their shape without the need for internal foam baffling.

• Exhibit a remarkable resistance to harsh environments, more so than any current fuel bladder design. FluoroCell elastomers display excellent resistance to : UV rays, shock, vibration, freeze-thaw cycles, ozone, fungus, acids, salt water, alkalies, hydraulic fluids, and even NBC hazards. Typical dampness-related conditions such as mold, fungus, mildew and hydrolysis are also no match for FluoroCell’s impervious compounds.

• “Non-aging” in that they don’t suffer from volume swell, delamination and surface “crazing” as many other fuel cell bladders do over time. In fact, the FIA world racing organization is considering extending its “legal” fuel cell life from the 5 years allotted for conventional bladder cells to 7.5 years for ATL’s FluoroCell bladders.
