A tank (100) is described herein that may be used in combination with an actuating means such as a pneumatic door actuating means. The tank (100) may also be used to inflate and/or deploy an emergency evacuation slide in an aircraft. Other uses are also envisaged. The tank (100) comprises a first, inner, enclosure (10) positioned and enclosed within a second, outer, enclosure (20), to provide an enclosed chamber (30) between the inner enclosure (10) and outer enclosure (20). The pressure in the chamber (30) may be measured with a gauge that does not extend into the inner enclosure (10). The measured pressure may then be monitored and compared in order to detect a change in pressure and thereby also detect a leak through a wall from the inner enclosure (10). Even if a wall of the inner enclosure (10) does fail, pressure in the tank (100) is still maintained due to the presence of the outer enclosure (20) and the chamber (30).
