mallykilla Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I am doing a college investigation and need to find three materials which could be used in the production of a bulletproof fuel tank. i am finding it very hard to find any information. Any help would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 There are several acrylics that are bulletproof (or resistant) but I don't know what the effects of your fuel would be on them. Certain plastics break down when immersed in other petroleum products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The traditional method to make them "bulletproof" is rather to fill them with foam that will expand to plug the hole when a hole is blown through it. The foam is permeable so you can hold fuel in it, and fire-resistant so there's no big explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
