Marine Fuel Bladders
Collapsible, Flexible & Portable Storage Bladders for Various Uses
Auxiliary Bladder Pillow Tanks For Boats, Motorcycles, Cars, Aircraft
Fuel Safe's marine fuel bladders are designed to safely transport liquids, specifically for ocean going vessels and race boats, however they can be used for all forms of liquid transport. The line of auxiliary fuel bladder tanks we offer allows sport-fishing vessels, recreational yachts and work boats to carry an additional 25-1000 gallons of fuel on board in a convenient flexible bladder that folds up and stows away when not in use. Fuel Safe’s marine fuel bladders are the most popular collapsible boat tanks on the market due to their durability and quality.
"I’m very pleased with this bladder. Even though I didn’t need it for the crossing, I used it extensively on the trip. It extended my range and reduced the number of fuel stops as a result. Works great."

Currently, Fuel Safe has a set of custom fuel bladders on board the support sailboat "Discoverer" to aid in its expedition across the Pacific Ocean, ferrying The Longest Swim crew from Tokyo to San Francisco. The Longest Swim team needed custom bladders to hold an additional 500 gallons of fuel to keep up with swimmer Ben Lecomte, who's mission is to swim the 5,500 miles from Tokyo to San Francisco in the name of science and sustainability.
Additional projects include, custom fuel bladders for powerboating team Al Wasl; a Xcat powerboat racing team overseen by the Union International Motonautique organization.The team is pictured above after winning a race in May of 2018.

Fuel Safe Systems also worked with Transocean (pictured below) to develop a 320 gallon reservoir for Blow Out Prevention Stack. The pictured reservoir holds a mix of fresh water and hydraulic fluid and will be placed on the sea floor for testing once passing tests topside. The tank is made of 316SS and is design to withstand crane lifting when full of fluid.
