For tankers (and others) -- the VEESS

[Marc]

I'm not a tanker, but I think I have found the numbers you're searching.

Curious system, the VEESS. I did'nt know anything about it before your post, but after little searching, it seems quite a good system to screen a vehicle.

I’ve found the link below:

Under “Smoke defense” you will find:


“The VEESS consumes approximately 1 gallon of fuel per minute of operation. It can only be operated when the engine is running”

Talking in Twilight terms, I suppose that this system must be limited to diesel engines and it could not be used in vehicles burning methanol or ethanol, due to the risk of an explosion.

Arreveure!
