Explofoil

DEFUSE... the rolling bomb which can be a vehicle fuel tank ...
PROTECT. . . against tracer or incendiary rounds igniting a fuel tank ...
NEGATE... the chance of explosion from a rear end collision ...
STOP... a possible lethal secondary explosion from grenades or other explosive attacks.

"Explosion proof" your vehicle tank with EXPLOFOIL aluminum filler. EXPLOFOIL is far superior to any other product on the market, and it is cost-effective.

PROTECTION DEVELOPMENT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION offers a variety of options:

  • P.D.I.C. will accept your tank and install EXPLOFOIL.
  • P.D.I.C. offers new tanks guaranteed ready for immediate installation (steel, stainless steel or aluminum). All tanks returned with Explofoil, gauge guard, gauge and flame arrestor installed in filler tube.
  • P.D.I.C. will wrap EXPLOFOIL tanks, if desired, with ballistic fiberglass which offers low and medium frag protection with minimal additional weight.
