NEWS RELEASE:
Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) has enjoyed over 40 years of success, steadily growing into what the global motorsports community recognizes today as the worlds premiere crashworthy fuel cell manufacturer. Despite the accolades, ATL has never forgotten its roots or how the company originated. That is why, when Mr. Gregory Ditch, an engineering teacher from Chavez High School in Houston, Texas, approached ATL with a special request, they couldn’t refuse. Earlier this year, Mr. Ditch founded an afterschool motorsports engineering program that encourages his high school students to apply their math and science skills to building a competitive land speed racecar. With zero financial backing, the program relies solely on donations of parts, tools and supplies to keep it afloat. Upon learning about the afterschool program and Mr. Ditch’s passion for teaching, ATL immediately agreed to become a part of the team by donating a 5 gallon “Sports Cell®” to fuel their 600 horse power 2006 Pontiac GTO racer. The versatile ATL “Sports Cell®” series features a extremely tough, FIA FT3 certified hard rubber molded bladder that is resistant to virtually any fuel. Available in standard sizes from 5 to 44 gallons, the economical “Sports Cell®” is a favorite of racers in all forms of motorsports. “Giving back to the community has always been a major part of who ATL is and after learning of Mr. Ditch’s unwavering commitment to his students, the decision was a no-brainer” explained Jeff Heotzler, ATL’s director of marketing. After witnessing firsthand a devastating crash while spectating at their local track, the Chavez Motorsports team placed upgrading their GTO’s safety at the top of their to-do-list. When it came to overhauling the fuel system, Mr. Ditch made it clear that ATL was the only choice, “With safety being our main focus in 2013-2014, we did not want to compromise. ATL has a great reputation in the industry. In fact, several pro racers told us to call ATL and get a fuel cell. At 180 or 190 mph, anything can happen. Before we go fast, we understand that we need to be safe.” Once the safety upgrades are complete, the Chavez Motorsports team looks to return to the track and improve upon their maiden voyage which saw NASCAR® veteran Donnie Neuenberger eclipse 175 mph at the Texas Mile! Above all, Mr. Ditch’s program is contributing to the academic success of these bright young men and women and is helping to give birth to our nation’s next generation of engineers, technicians and automobile enthusiasts.

Effective January 1st, 2013, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) is implementing a mandatory new labeling requirement for many safety products, including safety fuel cells. Most importantly, a hologram will be adhered to the fuel bladder that if tampered with or removed, will self-destruct. The FIA’s goal is to uphold product safety standards by reducing the possibility of counterfeiting. All new fuel cells purchased after January 1st, 2013 and used in FIA sanctioned events will be required to carry this new FIA hologram. Any existing fuel cell that is within the 5 year legal FIA life-span (2008 and newer) is “grandfathered” and will be permitted for competitive use for its entire 5 year life. Please consult with a representative from your sanctioning body if you are unsure whether this mandate applies to you. ATL will comply with these new FIA regulations and will offer fuel bladders with both the new FIA label and hologram as well as bladders with ATL’s “traditional” approval markings. When ordering a new fuel cell from ATL, you MUST specify at time of purchase whether your bladder requires the new FIA hologram. Under no circumstances can ATL supply holograms for post-sale application. Once a bladder leaves the factory after initial sale, regrettably, it cannot be sent back, at any time, for a hologram to be applied. Unfortunately, this new FIA hologram and label plus a mandatory record keeping system comes at a price. ATL must purchase these holograms directly from the FIA and regrettably has to pass these fees and documenting costs on to customers. For those who would like to purchase an ATL fuel cell with the new FIA label and hologram, the additional charges are as follows: FIA FT 3 or FT 3.5 label and hologram is $47.50 and for FIA FT5 is $79.00. If you have any questions about this new FIA hologram and labeling mandate, please contact an ATL Sales Engineer toll-free by dialing 800-526-5330, or 001-201-825-1400 if you are outside the U.S. You can also reach ATL via email at atl@atlinc.com. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding. ATL Racing Fuel Cells NEWS RELEASE:
In many forms of endurance racing, overhead refueling rigs, dump cans and vent bottles can be seen throughout the pit area. Although the pit stop, and in particular the refueling process, has evolved over the years, one concern still remains; How to transfer the unused, residual fuel in those rigs, dump cans and vent bottles back into a central drum or container, for safe and easy storage. Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) of Ramsey, NJ, the undisputed leader in racing fuel cell and refueling technology, has engineered a simple solution for race teams that struggle with such a problem. ATL is now offering its “Drum-Break” ™, a 2 ¼” or 1 ½” female dry-break receptacle that threads into the 2” bung of any conventional 55, 30 or 15 gallon steel drum, instantly transforming that drum into a “quick-fill” storage container for residual fuel. Just plug-in any “Redhead” style 2 ¼” or 1 ½” male probe (single or double) into the “Drum-Break” ™ receptacle as you would when refueling the race car. Race teams can now simply empty any un-used fuel from their refueling rigs, dump cans and vent bottles in a fast, easy and most of all, safe manner. No more worrying about spills when struggling to use a conventional funnel and cumbersome jerry can. When all residual fuel has been transferred from refueling devices into the storage drum, unscrew the ATL “Drum-Break” ™ and replace the drum’s steel bung cap. In addition to providing for safe fuel transfer, ATL’s “Drum-Break” ™ also provides a performance advantage. Race teams can now efficiently empty the vent line of their overhead rig in between pit stops to ensure the absolute quickest refueling stop possible.

ATL Fuel Cells (ATL) of Ramsey, New Jersey has engineered a series of rugged, explosion-proof fuel bladders that are designed, tested and proven to stand up and conquer the challenges of “Rally Raid” racing. Off-road, cross country rally racing, or “Rally Raid”, may be the most physically and mentally demanding form of motor sport on the planet, pushing both man and machine to their limits. The new super-tough ATL Rally Raid fuel cell is constructed from a FIA-approved ballistic nylon and soft rubber plus foam baffling for anti-slosh and explosion suppression. The Rally Raid fuel bladder accepts gasoline and diesel fuels as well as E10 and E15 (Max 15% blended ethanol). Within the bladder is a centrally located surge tank that features four one-way trap doors. This collector box ensures a constant, uninterrupted fuel flow by surrounding the fuel pick-up with fuel at all times. Under acceleration, braking and cornering, the trap doors open, allowing fuel to rush into the collector box and feed the fuel pick-up. Additionally, four baffle vanes are built into the floor of the bladder that guide fuel toward the trap doors, making certain that every last drop of fuel is collected. The ATL Rally Raid cell also features a lightweight aluminum fill plate with a 2-1/4” filler neck for smooth refueling. The neck is equipped with an FIA approved non-return fill valve that closes in the event of a rollover to deny fuel from leaking out the fill neck. A #6 outlet, #6 return and #6 rollover vent valve also come standard. For added convenience, ATL also installs an in-tank fuel level sender probe and supplies a fuel level gauge with every Rally Raid fuel cell. ATL’s Rally Raid fuel bladders are available in 200, 300 and 400-liter configurations and can be ordered with an optional aluminum container.

Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) of Ramsey, New Jersey, the world leader in flexible containment solutions, is extremely proud to learn that their pillow tanks played a significant role in a brilliant cleanup effort by the FDNY after a scary fuel tanker accident earlier this month. A tank truck, carrying over 12,000 gallons of gasoline, flipped over while navigating the Bruckner Interchange, one of the busiest interchanges in the country located in The Bronx, New York. Due to the hard impact, a leak sprung in the wall of the tanker, spilling gasoline on the highway and surrounding areas. Thanks to the quick response of the FDNY’s firefighters and HAZMAT teams and also to ATL’s “Petro-Flex” pillow tanks, over 1,700 gallons of leaking gasoline was safely transferred from the tanker to multiple ATL bladders. These collapsible ATL tanks bought valuable time while a second tanker truck was en-route to unload remaining fuel from the overturned rig. Each of the FDNY’s HAZMAT teams is equipped with multiple 500 gallon ATL pillow tanks, used for both petroleum-based products as well as chemicals, which ultimately take the place of cumbersome and heavy 55 gallon steel drums. In this particular incident, it would have taken over thirty 55-gallon drums to contain what four ATL pillow tanks stored in a more timely and safer manner. ATL congratulates and admires the brave and highly skilled men and woman who spent over 8 hours at the scene of the spill, risking their lives to quell a very dangerous situation.

NEWS RELEASE:
Aero Tec Laboratories, Inc. (ATL) of Ramsey, NJ USA recently produced two 2,000 gallon Fuel Transport Bladders for a unique and historic mission: Traversing the South Pole. The mission of the South Pole Traverse Project demonstrated that an overland snow route between McMurdo Station and the South Pole was feasible. Four years in the planning, this historic, first-ever South Pole Traverse covered 1,660 kilometers of barren Antarctic landscape and took 43 days to complete. Project Leader John Wright of Colorado conceived the sled hauling idea for these 2,000 gallon ATL Petro- Flex Bladders. 4,000 gallons of diesel fuel was sufficient to get John’s eight-member crew and their vehicle fleet, weighing 930,000 lbs., to the South Pole and back. Their cargo was equivalent to the mass carried by eleven LC-130 cargo planes! ATL’s bladders were secured to two polymer sleds via “socks” made of cargo nets. A tired but proud John Wright reported, “I was thrilled to find a commercially available Fuel Transport Bladder with dimensions that rather exactly fit our needs.” ATL produces Fuel Transport Bladders in many standard and custom sizes for use on commercial and military flat-beds, trailers, trucks, and marine vessels.
