Abstract
An onboard fire suppression system for a vehicle has at least one composite reservoir containing a fire suppressant agent. The reservoir includes a pressure vessel formed from fiber-composite material and having at least one double concave section. At least one reinforcement is applied to the pressure vessel in the location of the double concave section. This construction permits the pressure vessel to have a shape conforming with the irregular spaces commonly found in the underbody areas of vehicles.
