Ferry Fuel System
Global aircraft ferrying often necessitates additional fuel to traverse oceans or remote terrain. Ferry fuel systems are varied and can include rigid metal tanks or plastic commodity containers in metal frame cages. These can be cumbersome to work around and possibly cause damage to the aircraft during installation, use and/or removal.
Sterling uses the latest technology portable fuel bladders from Turtle-Pac Pty Ltd. Our all new in Q3 2021, custom built bladders are designed for optimal function and provide reduced chance of fuel spillage during filling, helping protect your aircraft from fuel smells.
The pliable construction takes the shape of the aircraft interior, distributing weight evenly, preventing the possibility of point-load damage to floors and walls. The heavy duty material prevents odors from fuels migrating into the cabin and provides greater protection from punctures.
Sterling’s Ferry Fuel System is optimized for use in all series of DeHavilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (formerly Viking) Twin Otter aircraft but we have various sizes of fuel bladders to suit any job. Installations are approved under Transport Canada Staff Instruction SI500-020 for Canadian registered aircraft and typically receive foreign approval based on the same data once reviewed by local civil aviation authorities.
