Collapsible Fuel Tanks

Continental produces collapsible fuel tanks for use in aircraft, helicopters, boats and vehicles. The tanks are high-tech products manufactured by hand. Materials designed to meet specific customer requirements are used in combination with matching connecting elements and tank inserts.

Special manufacturing processes allow for the manufacture of a diverse range of complex fuel tanks.
