Abstract
An aircraft fuel cell seal and methods of its use. The disclosed seal takes the form of a pre-cured, partially hollow elongate member that does not subtend a complete circle, but rather leaves an elongate gap in the member that can be placed over an edge or fillet of a fuel cell. In some cases, chambers within the member may be filled with wet sealant to provide redundant protection against EME effects.
