The strapline of “Beyond Safety” pays homage to ATL’s founding principle of safety, but also challenges partners, old and new, to dive deeper into the multitude of advantages that ATL products offer as well as the wide array of sectors that ATL products serve. The driving force behind this monumental effort is CEO Giles Dawson, whose vision promises to put innovation at the forefront and continue forging the path that ATL founder Peter J. Regna trail-blazed nearly 55 years ago. 300+ employees, and growing, spread across two continents but working all together as one – welcome to the new era of ATL. For more information, please visit atlinc.com (USA) or atlltd.com (UK). A new user-friendly website is currently being developed to be launched during the Summer of 2024. NEWS RELEASE:
Aero Tec Laboratories and its ATL Marine Fuel Bladder division is excited to unveil a new twist to their extremely popular line of fully collapsible FueLocker® range extension fuel bladder tanks. The 100 gallon “Wedge” features a unique triangular configuration that is specifically designed to fit comfortably within the bow of many sportfishing boats and pleasure craft. The “Wedge” was born from many years of customer feedback and the demand for similarly shaped deck-mounted custom fuel bladders for vessels such as center consoles. The “Wedge” provides an alternative location for auxiliary fuel storage for those with limited space in the stern. Like all of ATL’s range extension fuel bladders, the “Wedge” safely accepts both gasoline and diesel and is constructed from a flexible yet rugged mil-spec nylon reinforced material. The 100 gallon “Wedge” measures 55” in length, 40” at its widest and tapers down to 21” at its narrowest forward point. When fully filled, the “Wedge” stands at 15” tall. The fill neck and ½” ball valve outlet are both offset to the rear for easy access. The “Wedge” collapses as it empties and can be compactly rolled for simple storage when not in use. If you are considering the “Wedge”, ATL suggests first contacting your manufacturer for additional information regarding any weight and/or balance limitations that your vessel may have. For additional specs and to order your own “Wedge” range extension fuel bladder, simply visit atlfuelbladders.com or call 800-526-5330 to speak with an ATL sales engineer.

NEWS RELEASE:
Due to the effects of “friction”, many high-speed cars and trucks can build up localized electrical “charges”. Rotating parts, high velocity air flow and hot brake systems may create a low ampere, but high voltage, “charge” somewhere within the vehicle. Even fast-flow pit-stop refueling can produce a voltage “potential” creating a spark at or near the car’s refueling port. While incidents of static-induced fires and explosions are rare, they can be harrowing. Also, today’s “oxygenated” fuels, (E10, E15, E85 etc.) consisting of gasoline and ethyl-alcohol, may present additional possibilities for ignition. But ATL, being the world’s oldest and largest safety fuel cell manufacturer, has a simple fix to keep potential sparks and arcs from igniting race-fuel at or near the tank. The methodology ATL uses to avoid these electric-spark fire hazards is simple and inexpensive. It focuses on protecting the fuel load from ignition, as most everything else in a race car, truck or race boat is non-flammable. ATL’s ARC-ARREST is a “flat-cable” ground-strap which attaches to the fuel bladder’s internal conductive “nut-ring” flange via a special 2-ended stud fastener. The external half of this stud connects to a flat woven-metal cable conveying “charge” away from the fuel load and into the car’s metal chassis, roll cage, skin and other “current reservoirs”. In this manner, concentrated electrical charge is “diluted” away from the fuel tank (cell) and into the chassis mass, reducing both voltage and amperes below the threshold of sparking and igniting. ATL’s “ARC-ARREST” serves to prevent ignition and fire at the fill-pipe, at the vent line and at dry-break quick-fill valves. This solution is inexpensive, easy to install, light-weight and maintenance free! See the accompanying diagram to best understand the safety and simplicity of cell-to-chassis “bonding” via ATL’s “ARC-ARREST” ground strap connection.

Whether manned or unmanned, ground-defense vehicles benefit significantly from ATL’s Safety Fuel Cell bladder tanks. These tough, flexible fuel tanks deform on impact, suppress explosions with internal foam baffling, and can be coated for 7.62 self-sealing as well. Constructed of high-tensile rubberized fabrics, ATL’s fuel cell tanks cannot be dented, creased or vibration-cracked the way plastic and metallic tanks frequently are. Automatic “upside-down” valves prevent fuel spillage in an overturn or collision, while internal “scavenging” systems allow fuel consumption down to the last drop. As mentioned above, ATL’s fuel cells are filled with “safety-foam baffling” (per Mil-F-87260A) to defeat fuel surge and “slosh”, segregate incoming debris, prevent explosion, and allow the bladder to deform on impact without rupture. ATL’s rugged fuel cell tanks are also widely used in trucks and trailers to transport gasoline, diesel, JP4 and other fuels in support of mobile communication systems, refueling of other vehicles, feeding power generators and moving fuel safely to remote locations. To learn more or inquire about how ATL can supply your manned or unmanned project with flexible, lightweight fuel bladders, contact an ATL Sales Engineer at 800-526-5330, email atl@atlinc.com, or visit atlinc.com.NEWS RELEASE:

Dack BY BD OUTDOORS EDITOR CAPTAIN SCOTT GOODWIN I recently had the opportunity to help run a boat from Port Canaveral, Florida across the Gulf Stream to Spanish Cay in the Abacos Chain of the Bahamas. I've always said that we are so lucky to have paradise in our backyards. Meaning that the Bahamas with its crystal clear tropical waters and incredible fishing is within our reach from Florida. Now this saying is true, but the term backyard is relative and the trip is not to be taken too lightly. The planning that goes into a boat trip like this will fill many future articles, but the boat's range, based on fuel capacity, is an all-important aspect of any trip. A few words of advice from my experiences, take the time to know and confirm your boat's fuel consumption, the usable capacity of your tanks and always figure in a wide margin of safety factor, because you really never know what turns your trip might take. The ATL bladder tanks are made in a wide variety of styles and models, or they can easily be custom built to a shape that fits your boat. They are made from incredibly tough materials that can handle all types of fuels. They have a built-in vented fill cap and a discharge outlet with valve that can be both pumped-out or gravity drained. I have built two custom ATL tanks for various boats I've run and have nothing but great things to say about the quality and ease of use. I built custom tanks so that I could maximize the fuel capacity of the bladder, yet not cover any deck hatches that I might need to access in daily use or an emergency. I do not want a hundred gallons of fuel sitting on top of the lazzerette hatch if the rudder falls out. That does not mean however that one of ATL's many standard sizes won't work for you, and of course standard models offer savings compared to custom ones. We calculated the boat's range, assuming a full load of people, gear, fuel, ice and “stuff”. The 180-mile trip was within the boat's range, but our calculations only showed a 30-gallon reserve. Neither of us thought this was near enough, so we started talking about a fuel bladder. We decided that the livewell was a cavity that we would not be needing for the ride and would offer a great place to put a fuel bladder as it would be protected and not take up any room at all.
We left the tank in the livewell for the duration of the trip, but on other boats, I had a plastic storage tub that fit the rolled-up bladder for storage in the engine room, until the return trip home.
ATL is the industry leader for this technology and their line of products is always growing. They are also making OEM shaped bladder tanks to replace cracked or leaking factory tanks in boats. They can make any shape you need, and the fact that they are flexible can make installation much easier. They have several varieties including their newest ATL FlouroCell Fuel Bladder. It is capable of handling many fuel types including gas/ ethanol mix. They are even making collapsible water tanks for various applications. The options and uses are endless. • Superior scuff, cut and abrasion resistance over conventional fuel cell bladders.

ATL Fuel Cells of Ramsey, NJ has taken the knowledge it’s gained from working closely with dirt late model racing’s top chassis manufacturers, such as Rocket, GRT, Capital, and Warrior, to produce a lightweight and sleek yet economical 28 gallon “Sports Cell®” fuel cell. Weighing in at only 39 pounds, this FIA FT3 approved fuel cell was engineered to keep the weight towards the center of the car thus reducing the “pendulum effect” many racers experience under a full fuel load. Inside the lightweight .063” aluminum container is the “heart” of the fuel cell, a molded “hard-rubber” bladder that is impact resistant and offers excellent resistance to race gas as well as E85 and pure alcohol. The fuel bladder is fitted with safety foam baffling that not only delivers anti-slosh protection but also aids with explosion suppression. Another key feature within this new 28 gallon fuel cell is ATL’s “Rigid-Flex” fuel pick-up tube. This unique pickup allows the racer to remove the safety foam baffling when running alcohol and not compromise the cell’s fuel scavenging ability. To “top things off” is ATL’s weight saving aluminum fill plate that is equipped with a Twist-Off Cap, #10 Outlet, #8 Return, Dipstick, and #6 Roll-Over Vent Valve. In addition to fitting any dirt late model chassis, ATL’s new 28 gallon “Sports Cell®” is ideal for IMCA/UMP dirt modified chassis as well! Lastly, if weight savings is crucial, ATL can provide the same 28 gallon configuration but with a “Super Cell®” 100 Series “soft-rubber” flexible nylon reinforced fuel bladder that reduces the fuel cell’s overall weight to just 29 pounds!

Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) has enjoyed over 40 years of success, steadily growing into what the global motorsports community recognizes today as the worlds premiere crashworthy fuel cell manufacturer. Despite the accolades, ATL has never forgotten its roots or how the company originated. That is why, when Mr. Gregory Ditch, an engineering teacher from Chavez High School in Houston, Texas, approached ATL with a special request, they couldn’t refuse. Earlier this year, Mr. Ditch founded an afterschool motorsports engineering program that encourages his high school students to apply their math and science skills to building a competitive land speed racecar. With zero financial backing, the program relies solely on donations of parts, tools and supplies to keep it afloat. Upon learning about the afterschool program and Mr. Ditch’s passion for teaching, ATL immediately agreed to become a part of the team by donating a 5 gallon “Sports Cell®” to fuel their 600 horse power 2006 Pontiac GTO racer. The versatile ATL “Sports Cell®” series features a extremely tough, FIA FT3 certified hard rubber molded bladder that is resistant to virtually any fuel. Available in standard sizes from 5 to 44 gallons, the economical “Sports Cell®” is a favorite of racers in all forms of motorsports. “Giving back to the community has always been a major part of who ATL is and after learning of Mr. Ditch’s unwavering commitment to his students, the decision was a no-brainer” explained Jeff Heotzler, ATL’s director of marketing. After witnessing firsthand a devastating crash while spectating at their local track, the Chavez Motorsports team placed upgrading their GTO’s safety at the top of their to-do-list. When it came to overhauling the fuel system, Mr. Ditch made it clear that ATL was the only choice, “With safety being our main focus in 2013-2014, we did not want to compromise. ATL has a great reputation in the industry. In fact, several pro racers told us to call ATL and get a fuel cell. At 180 or 190 mph, anything can happen. Before we go fast, we understand that we need to be safe.” Once the safety upgrades are complete, the Chavez Motorsports team looks to return to the track and improve upon their maiden voyage which saw NASCAR® veteran Donnie Neuenberger eclipse 175 mph at the Texas Mile! Above all, Mr. Ditch’s program is contributing to the academic success of these bright young men and women and is helping to give birth to our nation’s next generation of engineers, technicians and automobile enthusiasts.

Effective January 1st, 2013, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) is implementing a mandatory new labeling requirement for many safety products, including safety fuel cells. Most importantly, a hologram will be adhered to the fuel bladder that if tampered with or removed, will self-destruct. The FIA’s goal is to uphold product safety standards by reducing the possibility of counterfeiting. All new fuel cells purchased after January 1st, 2013 and used in FIA sanctioned events will be required to carry this new FIA hologram. Any existing fuel cell that is within the 5 year legal FIA life-span (2008 and newer) is “grandfathered” and will be permitted for competitive use for its entire 5 year life. Please consult with a representative from your sanctioning body if you are unsure whether this mandate applies to you. ATL will comply with these new FIA regulations and will offer fuel bladders with both the new FIA label and hologram as well as bladders with ATL’s “traditional” approval markings. When ordering a new fuel cell from ATL, you MUST specify at time of purchase whether your bladder requires the new FIA hologram. Under no circumstances can ATL supply holograms for post-sale application. Once a bladder leaves the factory after initial sale, regrettably, it cannot be sent back, at any time, for a hologram to be applied. Unfortunately, this new FIA hologram and label plus a mandatory record keeping system comes at a price. ATL must purchase these holograms directly from the FIA and regrettably has to pass these fees and documenting costs on to customers. For those who would like to purchase an ATL fuel cell with the new FIA label and hologram, the additional charges are as follows: FIA FT 3 or FT 3.5 label and hologram is $47.50 and for FIA FT5 is $79.00. If you have any questions about this new FIA hologram and labeling mandate, please contact an ATL Sales Engineer toll-free by dialing 800-526-5330, or 001-201-825-1400 if you are outside the U.S. You can also reach ATL via email at atl@atlinc.com. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding. ATL Racing Fuel Cells NEWS RELEASE:
In many forms of endurance racing, overhead refueling rigs, dump cans and vent bottles can be seen throughout the pit area. Although the pit stop, and in particular the refueling process, has evolved over the years, one concern still remains; How to transfer the unused, residual fuel in those rigs, dump cans and vent bottles back into a central drum or container, for safe and easy storage. Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) of Ramsey, NJ, the undisputed leader in racing fuel cell and refueling technology, has engineered a simple solution for race teams that struggle with such a problem. ATL is now offering its “Drum-Break” ™, a 2 ¼” or 1 ½” female dry-break receptacle that threads into the 2” bung of any conventional 55, 30 or 15 gallon steel drum, instantly transforming that drum into a “quick-fill” storage container for residual fuel. Just plug-in any “Redhead” style 2 ¼” or 1 ½” male probe (single or double) into the “Drum-Break” ™ receptacle as you would when refueling the race car. Race teams can now simply empty any un-used fuel from their refueling rigs, dump cans and vent bottles in a fast, easy and most of all, safe manner. No more worrying about spills when struggling to use a conventional funnel and cumbersome jerry can. When all residual fuel has been transferred from refueling devices into the storage drum, unscrew the ATL “Drum-Break” ™ and replace the drum’s steel bung cap. In addition to providing for safe fuel transfer, ATL’s “Drum-Break” ™ also provides a performance advantage. Race teams can now efficiently empty the vent line of their overhead rig in between pit stops to ensure the absolute quickest refueling stop possible.

ATL Fuel Cells (ATL) of Ramsey, New Jersey has engineered a series of rugged, explosion-proof fuel bladders that are designed, tested and proven to stand up and conquer the challenges of “Rally Raid” racing. Off-road, cross country rally racing, or “Rally Raid”, may be the most physically and mentally demanding form of motor sport on the planet, pushing both man and machine to their limits. The new super-tough ATL Rally Raid fuel cell is constructed from a FIA-approved ballistic nylon and soft rubber plus foam baffling for anti-slosh and explosion suppression. The Rally Raid fuel bladder accepts gasoline and diesel fuels as well as E10 and E15 (Max 15% blended ethanol). Within the bladder is a centrally located surge tank that features four one-way trap doors. This collector box ensures a constant, uninterrupted fuel flow by surrounding the fuel pick-up with fuel at all times. Under acceleration, braking and cornering, the trap doors open, allowing fuel to rush into the collector box and feed the fuel pick-up. Additionally, four baffle vanes are built into the floor of the bladder that guide fuel toward the trap doors, making certain that every last drop of fuel is collected. The ATL Rally Raid cell also features a lightweight aluminum fill plate with a 2-1/4” filler neck for smooth refueling. The neck is equipped with an FIA approved non-return fill valve that closes in the event of a rollover to deny fuel from leaking out the fill neck. A #6 outlet, #6 return and #6 rollover vent valve also come standard. For added convenience, ATL also installs an in-tank fuel level sender probe and supplies a fuel level gauge with every Rally Raid fuel cell. ATL’s Rally Raid fuel bladders are available in 200, 300 and 400-liter configurations and can be ordered with an optional aluminum container.

Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) of Ramsey, New Jersey, the world leader in flexible containment solutions, is extremely proud to learn that their pillow tanks played a significant role in a brilliant cleanup effort by the FDNY after a scary fuel tanker accident earlier this month. A tank truck, carrying over 12,000 gallons of gasoline, flipped over while navigating the Bruckner Interchange, one of the busiest interchanges in the country located in The Bronx, New York. Due to the hard impact, a leak sprung in the wall of the tanker, spilling gasoline on the highway and surrounding areas. Thanks to the quick response of the FDNY’s firefighters and HAZMAT teams and also to ATL’s “Petro-Flex” pillow tanks, over 1,700 gallons of leaking gasoline was safely transferred from the tanker to multiple ATL bladders. These collapsible ATL tanks bought valuable time while a second tanker truck was en-route to unload remaining fuel from the overturned rig. Each of the FDNY’s HAZMAT teams is equipped with multiple 500 gallon ATL pillow tanks, used for both petroleum-based products as well as chemicals, which ultimately take the place of cumbersome and heavy 55 gallon steel drums. In this particular incident, it would have taken over thirty 55-gallon drums to contain what four ATL pillow tanks stored in a more timely and safer manner. ATL congratulates and admires the brave and highly skilled men and woman who spent over 8 hours at the scene of the spill, risking their lives to quell a very dangerous situation.
