Here we see a side-view of a SealVac™ vacuum tool. Notice how it will adapt to this irregular surface.
This is the SealVac™ vacuum head. It is here where vacuum is generated to adhere tools and extract fuel from your air source. All user controls are also located here.

The SealVac™ has been in use in various versions for quite some time. Here it is capturing fuel from a British Airways Concorde.
A close-up of a SealVac™ vacuum tool attached to a wing sump. Note the Viewport fuel flow view window.
Airbus Military is a recent customer. The SealVac™ is shown here with the A400M at Airbus Military, Seville, Spain.
Closeup image of the fuel probe at the end of the vacuum hose assembly. Note the adjustable sump depressing pin and the FuelFlow™ viewing window.
Fuel Probe attachment is as easy as inserting and turning 90 degrees. Fuel flow is initiated by a special pin on the end of the hose assembly that depresses the sump automatically.
The SealVac™ vacuum plate designed for tighter fit locations. Note the alignment with the sump drain.
The SealVac™ vacuum plate family. We work with customers to ensure the SealVac™ fuel bowser will fit and perform properly on their airframe. Most airframes will require just one or two of these plates to attach to all of the sump locations on the plane. Other plates are available to fit specific applications.
This is a Remote Funnel available as an optional SealVac™ accessory. Connecting this to the depuddling hose allows the operator to gravity drain with a full tank vacuum assist in those tight places the SealVac™ drain tools will not fit.
Round vacuum plate, one of several to ensure a good vacuum seal for your individual fuel draining application.

This is the fuel recovery/recycle center on a SealVac Plus+™. After fuel is drained from an aircraft, the SealVac Plus+™ can filter, recirculate, or dispense the clean fuel using the same air souce that powers the vacuum generators. SealVac Plus+™ is the newest model in the SealVac™ Vacuum Aircraft Fuel Drain Bowser lineup.
Side view of the new SealVac Plus+™ fuel bowser/recycler. Note the front of the unit offers the same great SealVac™ aircraft fuel bowser benefits as before; we just PLUSSED it!
The SealVac™ at the NWA maintenance facility in Detroit. NWA found that the Sealvac™ Vacuum Fuel Drain system reduced fuel drain times on their Airbus A330 aircraft from 14 hours to 2 hours!
The SealVac™ Vacuum Fuel Drain Bowser at Boeing Field, Seattle. Boeing uses the SealVac™ to completely drain pre-delivery 737 models after the short flight from the assembly facility in Renton, Wa. Boeing delivery prep personnel discovered that the SealVac™ greatly reduced the time it took to drain fuel, allowing final installs to procede without delay.
SealVac™ in use at Horizon Air. The SealVac™ Vacuum Fuel Draining System safely drains fuel for weight and balance procedures inside the hanger.

When the USAF Thunderbirds flight demonstration team wanted the fastest, safest and cleanest fuel drain system, they chose SealVac™. Spokane Industries is proud to play a part in keeping America's premier flight demonstration team flying high!
An enlongated SealVac™ vacuum drain tool adhered to a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III wing sump drain. The SealVac™ vacuum drain tools fit just about every conceivable sump drain.
A closeup of a SealVac™ fuel drain tool lining up with a sump drain. This is easy using the sump alignment tool.
The first of two pictures showing a SealVac™ vacuum drain tool in a tight fit location on an Airbus A320 aircraft. This sump drain is located one of the main landing gear wheel wells. A little patience, and the tool can be threaded in some real improbable locations.
