Fol-Da-Tank - Electric Vehicle Tank - (EV Tank)
DA-EV Tank a.k.a. The Electric Vehicle Tank is the first of its kind! With electric vehicles becoming more popular and state mandates coming into place for electric vehicles, its time to fold a new tank. Which is exactly what Fol-Da-Tank has done. Specifically engineered and manufactured for extinguishing electrical vehicle fires. This tank will help prevent thermal runaway in an EV fire by enabling you to submerge a vehicle in water while the battery cells burn out. The double hinged design allows the tanks to be set up around the vehicle without moving it. As folded fits in a pickup truck bed or command vehicle and can be carried to position by two people!
Strategies
Transport the folded tank, outriggers, and floor skirt weights to the fire scene. The system is designed to fit in a standard pick-up truck bed or command vehicle.
Extinguish the primary fire (tires, interior, etc).
Deploy the tank around the vehicle. The system is designed to work in confined areas such as parking spaces.
Fill with water to at least to the depth which submerges the battery case.
Maintain the water level to absorb heat from actively burning batteries. Keep submerged until the batteries are stable and not at risk of re-igniting.
Drain and re-fold for future use
Tactics
During transport, keep the ends tied together to prevent the frame tank from opening. Rope lengths are supplied.
All steps to deploy are done from outside the tank. This keeps you safely away from a hot vehicle.
Before filling, make sure the fabric walls are not pinched under the bottom frame rail, ensure the floor skirt is reasonably flat, secure the drain sleeves in the Rapid Release clamp, and install the 4 outriggers on the outward flexing hinges on each long wall.
While filling, the floor skirt will be affected by direct water streams and turbulence. Add the skirt weights where needed. Expect leakage to slow significantly as the water depth increases. Expect minor water leakage around pavement cracks or joints. Even on gravel, leakage is manageable.
During soak time, replenish water loss with a low-pressure line such as a 2-1/2” line connected to a supply line holder set at 20psi. Add water as needed. Expect to add a burst of water every 15 minutes on flat pavement
