HELIFAB Receives EASA Approval for Its S76 Auxiliary Fuel Tank

HELIFAB Receives EASA Approval for Its S76 Auxiliary Fuel TankHELIFAB receives EASA approval for its S76 auxiliary fuel tank, which was already FAA and ANAC approved. The auxiliary fuel tank installs in the baggage compartment and provides 62 gallons of additional fuel. The design allows the kit to be installed in combination with an Air Comm air conditioning system and still leaves 13 cubic feet of baggage space. If additional storage space is required, HELIFAB also offers a certified aft cabin area storage net solution.

The auxiliary fuel tank’s quick release feature allows the tank to be removed or re-installed in less than 30 minutes, providing the operators a short turnaround time when mission configuration changes and dictates removal or installation of the auxiliary fuel tank.

“For ease of initial installation, the only holes cut into the rotorcraft main tanks are those for the two level sensing valves installed in the main tank access covers,” explains Mark Evans, project manager and DAR at HELIFAB. “The complete installation is expected to take approximately 60 man-hours, not including aircraft prep time or cure time.”
