EXPLODING FUEL BAGS?! The ultimate test
Переглядів 5 тис.14 днів тому
NOTICE . Clarification at 08:15 regarding how to connect the bag. It is most recommended to use the "breather" valve for fuelling as it can be used to easily insert fuel and also extract air from the top of the bag. Fuel bags are all the rage lately, especially in jets where they seem to be replacing traditional plastic / composite fuel tanks. But how do these flimsy little bags replace our tri...

    Second the comment about using a fuel pressure system to fill bags. That’s really the only truly safe and most reliable method. No fancy fueling station needed really, simply add a pressure switch to any fuel station and get a safely full bag every time. Thank you for all the testing! That’s something we all wonder about but few ever endeavor to destroy a bag, so your contribution to the community is most appreciated!!

    I believe that the bag is two layers and each layer provides a different function. The inner one likely resists fuel exposure while the outside one provides the bag strength.

    I wonder why the Fuel Station doesn't have s pressure sensor that can detect an excess of pressure needed to fill the tank, stopping the pump when the pressure reach a certain amount. That would prevent the tank from exploding.

  • @HermanKruisman
    @HermanKruisman 14 днів тому

    Very stupid system from SmokeEL. Empty the tank before filling it makes no sense. Just add a pressure sensor and detect it is full. I would NEVER use this from SmokeEL. There are so much more options available ;)

  • @acw400

    I wonder what the fuel pressure does to the fuel pump calibration in turbine applications. Presumably as the bag deflates the pressure decreases and the pump has to go higher. Is that supported by all ECUs?

    • @aerialbugsmasher
      @aerialbugsmasher 13 днів тому

      I've wondered this too. I have done a bench test with my Xicoys where if I squeeze the fuel tanks the rpm will increase slightly but eventually goes back down. Can't tell if that's the fadec compensating or just the pressure reducing naturally after the initial squeeze on the tanks

  • @Nitzz97
    @Nitzz97 14 днів тому

    This is interesting, for sure. What's the best way to install it in the jet and secure it given the physical size of the bag changes? You have to have straps or something when flying inverted but as the bag empties, the straps are no longer taught on the bag. If you have to build an "enclosure", that weight must be considered as well but, clearly, you still lose the weight of the UAT. I'd like to see the proper way to install it in the jet.

    Martin, hello from Dubai. Great video! Filling the fuel bag from the turbine line is cumbersome. Best to use Jetcat Fuel Station and always fill in from the ‘vent’ line. Once the bag is full, the pump will cycle 2-3 times to automatically remove all the air. It works perfectly every time and you don’t need to have a T on the turbine line or a valve on the ‘vent’ line and try every time to manually remove the air…. I love fuel bags, will never go back to tanks

    • @HermanKruisman
      @HermanKruisman 14 днів тому

      My own pump removes the air from the tubing first, then fills and then removed any left over air. I never have any air inside the tanks this way. Has been working very reliable :)

      Thats easy. 1) because if he closed it you couldnt see it for demonstration purposes 2) its almost a fully closed system with the breather tube the only way of spilling fuel. So PPE is not necessary unless its performative or done.with a sense of self-righteousness. If he did what you wanted him to do, everybody would be questioning whether or not the bag was really in the Box. He literally says multiple times "not very scientific at all", so if youre looking for peer read studies, he's given you the warning that you wont find it here.
