A fuel tank of an advanced ballistic tolerant fuel containment system is constructed with an inner layer designed to contain fuel, an intermediate layer or layers designed to self-seal any openings or holes made into the fuel tank, and an exterior layer that reinforces the fuel tank and provides the fuel tank with hard points for connection to an aircraft or vehicle. The interior layer, the intermediate layer and the exterior layer are all constructed of thermoplastic materials.
