The company utilizes Turtle-Pac collapsible ferry tanks which offer tremendous improvement over the Dehavilland barrel system or other solid tank systems. The collapsible ferry tanks were used for several years by Australian pilots prior to Planes & Parts bringing the system to Canada. Flight Permits in Canada are issued by Transport Canada using the guidelines of  Staff Instruction SI 500-020. The guideline states that the tanks must be metal and if not the tank must be reviewed by a Regional Aircraft Certification Engineer. Planes & Parts submitted the tanks for review in 2003 to Prairie and Northern Region and with input from Ottawa were found acceptable for use in Canadian registered aircraft as a temporary installation for ferry flight. No STC or LSTC is required and indeed Transport Canada will no longer issue such STC’s. We have also obtained 337s for flight authorizations for US registered aircraft. 

The picture above shows three tanks installed in a DHC6, for a total of 1000 USG in the cabin, which is the required fuel to cross from California to Hawaii. The entire system including tanks, hose, valves, pumps, straps, and shipping containers, weighing less than 150 lbs. The system can be installed in approximately four hours and removed in less time.  

This system allows for ease of transportation allowing for quick deployment if need be.
