Refuelling Bowser

ATL Closed-Loop Refuelling Bowser used to safely fill and empty vehicles.

The ATL Refuelling Bowser is fitted with an FIA FT3 safety cell and is a sealed ATEX compliant fuel system. Available in 100L / 200L Capacity.

Aero Tec Laboratories has designed and built a zero-vapour refuelling bowser, which makes any refuelling environment safer for engineers, ground crew and pilots alike. 

The bowser connects to the vehicle using two hoses, one for the fuel and one for the displaced air, and has been designed to do four specific things in a totally closed loop system:

  1. Empty any vehicle and measure the amount of fuel removed, without risking running the on-board pump dry.
  2. Fill the transfer bowser from a standard drum, measuring the amount of fuel withdrawn and the total in the bowser.
  3. Put the required amount of fuel into the vehicle via a dead man principle.
  4. Fill or empty a fuel reservoir quickly and safely.
