Current models from early 60s
BMS 10-39, Mil-C-27725, BUNA-N
Topcoat peeling on numerous aircraft
Inboard worse than outboard
Recoating not done after removal
Corrosion not an issue
FTTP UPDATE
11. P-3 Program
Manufactured from ‘60s thru ‘80s
Buna N, Mil-C-27725
Topcoat peeling on numerous aircraft
Corrosion is equally severe
Peeling more severe in foam-filled tanks
Severest peeling-corrosion in headspace
