Motorsport South Africa is pleased to announce that Bailey Tanks, operating under the banner of Bailey Cars, is now producing fuel bladder tanks to FIA FT3-approved standards locally.
Bailey Cars, an accomplished South African racing car manufacturer, recognised the need for high-quality, locally made fuel tanks and developed this solution under the Bailey Tanks name. All tanks are manufactured to the highest standards under ISO 9001 certification.
After extensive research and development, Bailey Tanks has received official approval to manufacture fuel bladder tanks to FIA-approved standards, ensuring compliance with the strict safety and performance requirements demanded in motorsport.
Vic Maharaj, CEO of Motorsport South Africa, welcomed the development: “This is a significant milestone for South African motorsport. Having locally manufactured, FIA-approved fuel bladders not only ensures our competitors meet the highest global safety standards, but it also mitigates the heavy costs and logistical delays associated with importing vital safety equipment. MSA fully supports local enterprises like Bailey Tanks that drive innovation, sustainability, and safety in our sport.”
Each tank is custom-built to client specifications and supplied with FIA-approved surge foam and all necessary fittings, making them fully suitable for all FIA-sanctioned and other motorsport events. From historic racing to endurance competitions and circuit racing, Bailey Tanks delivers safety, reliability, and performance for competitors across South Africa.
Peter Bailey, founder of Bailey Tanks, added: “We identified a critical need for accessible, world-class safety equipment right here in South Africa. Achieving FIA FT3 approval was a rigorous process, but it validates our commitment to quality. We are proud to offer custom-built fuel tanks that compete with the best in the world, keeping our local racers safe and on the track.”
Based in Boksburg, Bailey Tanks continues to support the local motorsport community by delivering high-quality, locally manufactured fuel tanks.
