In order to improve failsafe capabilities of fuel tanks (20), preferably for aircraft (10), and in particular with respect to mitigating the risk of fuel leakage even in case of mechanical damage to the tank, a tank wall liner (34) is proposed. The tank wall liner (34) comprises a liner body (38) made of a liner material. The liner material is a sealant or composite of sealant and fiber/textile materials. Multiple tank wall liners (34) are installed on the tank wall (22) and form a lining surface that seals the fuel in the tank (20) from the tank skin (30).
