Problems with additional use section[edit]

The additional use section claims water bladders are widely used, but only cites the product page of a company that manufactures them. The page makes no statement regarding wideness of use. The section claims that the bladders are made of "plastomer coated fabrics manufactured by high frequency welding". However, the one citation link makes no mention of how the bladders are manufactured, and does not claim they are made of "plastomers". The site does say that their particular bladders are made of "nylon weave core which is double thick coated". Whether this qualifies as a plastomer cannot be determined, since the composition of the coating is not described, and it is unclear if the nylon layer itself can be considered a plastomer. Lastly, this section has awkward grammar. Winecellar (talk) 18:00, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In addition. the second citation in this section is used to support the claim that "most suppliers" sell the chemicals, pumps and equipment necessary to operate water bladders. The link is to an article about a company providing disaster relief supplies to Haiti, but no mention is made about water bladders, pumps, chemicals or the like. The previous link to the water bladder manufacturer specifically states that pumps, hoses, etc., are not included, which would seem to be a contradiction to the statement that "most suppliers" offer such things with their water bladders.

Information-free citation[edit]

The citation to GMA Cover Corp in the "primary uses" section leads to a corporate splash page, with no information whatsoever about fuel bladders, much less information about how they fold to 5% of their expanded size. The citation should be removed or replaced with a valid one. Excising all of the inadequate parts of this article might leave nothing, however. Winecellar (talk) 18:01, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rigid fuel tanks with bladders?[edit]

Are rigid fuel tanks available with permanently installed bladders?

Due to the fact that ethyl alcohol is hydrophillic and will absorb moisture out of the air, and that the lighter fractions of gasoline can evaporate over time and leave behind a gummy sludge, it seems best to simply contain these fuels in an air-impermeable bladder at all times, even when in a rigid storage tank.

This would also prevent the slow oxidation and degradation of the stored fuel due to contact with air entering the storage tank equalization vents.

Problems with technical characteristics section[edit]

Removed claims that coating/engineering provide "chemical properties". There is no explanation of what chemical properties are provided, and the cited link provides no information about this claim. If there is something to this claim, it should be explained what chemical properties are conferred by the construction of fuel bladders. Winecellar (talk) 01:47, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

The present title is Fuel Bladder. That is OK but these bags are used for a wider variety of industrial liquids: food oils, chemicals, etc, A more inclusive title might be "storage bladder" or "liquid storage bags". Pkgx (talk) 18:54, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
