NMFC 181150 – Collapsed Fuel/Oil Cells | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Ship the bladder fully drained and vapor-free. Cap or plug all ports and AN fittings, bag the cell to prevent abrasion, and coil or flat-fold without creasing attachment points.
2. If wood or metal supports ship with the cell, wrap them separately inside the same package so sharp edges can’t chafe the rubber or fabric during transit.
3. Use rigid, double-wall cartons or a light crate sized to the collapsed footprint. Add foam or corrugate blocking, and mark “Do Not Stack” if fittings protrude.
4. On the BOL, list “Fuel or Oil Cells, rubber or fabric, collapsed, in packages – NMFC 181150, Class 100, non-hazardous” to avoid reclass or inspection delays.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 100—no density calculation or tiering, reducing quote variance and reclass disputes.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates HazMat fees and special handling paperwork, expanding carrier options and cutting overhead.
• Collapsed, packaged format lowers cube and protects fittings, improving pallet efficiency and reducing damage claims.
• Clear NMFC alignment streamlines procurement and transfers for motorsports, aviation MRO, and marine yards, speeding turnaround times.
