Me 109 Tank

Simple question, Friends
How did Me 109 petrol tanks look like ?
Did they consist of rubber like B 24 or B 17 .
With several rubber layers? Fou
Found no info on google
I found a rubber patch with 3 or 4 layers.

Any picture ?

Many thanks for your replies.

Re: Me 109 Tank

Hi From a PRO doc listing manufacturers of all Bf 109 parts :-

Oil and petrol tanks manufactured by
Neue Kuhler u. Flugzeugteile Fab, Colditzstrasse 27-29 Berlin-Tempelhof

Perhaps you could investigate their manufacturing processes

Re: Me 109 Tank

Early were made of aluminum, and looked almost identical to the post-war Spanish Ha1112 Fuel Tanks.

Otherwise, they were rubber on inside and out...with a self-sealing foam in between. Around 0.5" in thickness.

Re: Me 109 Tank

Tony and Harrison,

many thx for your replies.
0,5 " (inch ? ) thickniss would suit well.

The decisive is, if a part of a Me-109 tank, it would be the first hint to a long missed Me 109 wreckage. No metal parts in the closer souroundings yet.
