FASTER, CLEANER, and SAFER. Yes, the SealVac can be all things! It is easy to operate! Tank and tool vacuum is generated onboard using compressed air. The patented SealVac Fuel Drain Bowser vacuum tools seal to the aircraft sump or drain points, preventing aircraft fuel from going anywhere but down the vacuum hose into the tank. It does this without damage of any kind to the aircraft surface.
We designed the SealVac Plus+ Fuel Drain Bowser to meet the needs of today’s “Do More With Less” mindset while allowing a precious resource to be recycled and reused. Uses include recycling filtered fuel back into aircraft, diesel vehicles, or ground support equipment. Organizations that have fielded the SealVac Plus+ fuel bowser are enthusiastic about the fuel reuse or recycling opportunity, and the money saved that accompanies this feature. The Plus+ model has several crucial feature additions over the basic SealVac:

FASTER!
The SealVac Fuel Bowser attaches to aircraft sump points with supplied drain tools employing a compressed air generated vacuum seal. A vacuum enabled drain hose attaches to the tool, efficiently evacuating fuel from the sump at rates many times faster than gravity draining, potentially saving hours of time on each maintenance action. Our customers tell us the SealVac is about 80% faster than other methods using gravity draining.
Typical fuel drain rates are around 10 - 12 gallons per minute - this is per drain hose, of which the SealVac can handle as many as 4 at a time! Compare that to gravity draining, which can be a little as 1/2 gallon per minute.
CLEANER!
The SealVac bowser drain tools seal tightly around fuel sump drain points. Fuel is vacuumed down the hose into the double-walled stainless steel holding tank, and not allowed to drip and dribble on the ground.
Using the drain hose assembly, even residual drops of fuel are captured, without spill a single drop on the ground - an important environmental consideration for today's managers and maintainers.
SAFER!
Exposure to aircraft fuel of any kind is not good for one's health. The gravity method of draining an aircraft fuel tank is a dirty job. It is almost impossible to open a sump and get out of the way without getting some personal fuel exposure. The SealVac vacuum fuel drain bowser can truly make routine exposure to fuel a thing of the past and allow the maintainer to complete the job of prepping a tank for maintenance without exposure to fuel. The SealVac system is the solution you have been looking for!
Just some of the SealVac's safety features:
> Carbon impregnated, static dissipating duplex drain and depuddling hoses prevent static buildup
> Double-walled, stainless steel collection tank self-contains possible leaks
> Automatic failsafe shutoff mechanism prevents overfilling collection tank
> Vacuum breaker prevents damage to aircraft fuel tanks, as well as protecting the SealVac itself
Using the SealVac, you can eliminate personal exposure to aircraft fuel when performing maintenance requiring sump draining! We recommend using the SealVac manual and online training videos before using the equipment for the first time. Within a short period, your maintenance team will be proficiently draining fuel from aircraft, often without spilling a single drop of fuel!
