Leakage detection for pressurized fuel tanks. To provide facilitated leakage detection, a leakage detection device for pressurized fuel tanks for storing a pressurized fuel includes a fuel-sensing tracer and a light-wave conducting component. The fuel sensing tracer is configured to alter its optical properties in the presence of a predetermined fuel. The light-wave conducting component is in optical contact with the fuel sensing tracer. Light travelling within the light-wave conducting component is modifiable by altered optical properties of the fuel sensing tracer such that modified light is indicative of the presence of fuel at the location of the fuel sensing tracer.
