DSS™ is a proven technology and it is been successfully used by the US Department of Defense, foreign government agencies and industrial companies. GO>
The Detonation Suppress System (DSS™) is the most proven patented technology available to prevent explosions of fuel tanks containing flammable liquids and gases. A fuel storage tank protected with DSS™ can withstand the impact of all types of ammunition without exploding. DSS™ will prevent explosions and mitigate fire-spread caused by gunfire, terrorist activity, sparking, maintenance error, electrostatic discharge, crashes, or other type of accident.
DSS™ has been fully tested in commercial and military environments. A number of military agencies and commercial entities have deployed DSS™ material.
...the presence of DSS™ reduces the vapor pressure of the gasoline so that less of the fuel volume is evaporated. This, apart from the financial benefit (less loss of fuel), reduces also the environmental pollution (less hydrocarbons released to the atmosphere) and at the same time the existing combustion dangers.

The results show that the safety aluminum mesh prevents a propane explosion.

The fuel tanks with explosion suppressant were able to withstand the impact of all three types of ammunition. Only the penetration and exit holes were visible signs of damage so that the fuel below would still have been available to power the vehicle. Even a detonating mine which caused the entire fuel to flow out through the penetration hole did not produce any fire in the engine compartment
