Explosion-proof suction of jet fuel
When safety can’t be improvised
Fuel residues aren’t just liquid – they’re explosive hazards
Fuels like JP-8 release vapors, aerosols and static electricity, which together can create deadly ignition sources in hangars and at refueling stations. Most industrial vacuum cleaners are not certified for ATEX zones – and certainly not for use near fighter jets.
The solution is proven – and already in use
Tiger-Vac’s explosion-proof vacuums are used daily at U.S. Air Force bases for defueling and fuel residue recovery around the F-35. Tiger-Vac’s models are not concepts or prototypes – they’re field-tested, evaluated and recommended by the U.S. Air Force, with full ATEX documentation available. In Europe, they comply with ATEX Zone 1 and 21 requirements, and several models meet the EN 17348 standard.
When you choose Tiger-Vac, you’re not choosing an experiment. You’re choosing what already works. No test pilots. No prototypes. You can finally trust that safety works – every single time.
Models designed for real-life conditions

Approved by Air Force – certified and operational
Tiger-Vac’s solutions aren’t new. They’re proven, tested, and approved by defense sectors in both the U.S. and Europe. Integrated into the MEEP program and assigned NSN numbers, they’re embedded in NATO’s logistics infrastructure.
But documentation isn’t just paperwork. Tiger-Vac vacuums are certified for ATEX Zone 1 (gas) and Zone 21 (dust), meet EN 60335-2-69, and comply with EN 17348. The HEPA filters retain 99.995% of hazardous particles, while activated carbon ensures that vapors and VOCs remain contained – not released.
