Bf 109E and self sealing tanks

Hi,

Does anybody here have clues about what kind of fuel tank (sevaral types..?) was used on the Emils? I am looking through French, British and even Russian evaluation reports, and there is no hint in them wheter they are of the self sealing type, or just a plain light alloy tank.

No hint in the German manuals I have the for the plane either. However evaluations for the Bf 110C hint the fuel tanks on this other Messerschmitt fighter were self sealing by ca May 1940.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
