BTW I used to work F-16s. I recall that they had a halon system that would
fill the empty fuel tank airspace to prevent fire from combat damage. I
think that is how it worked but it wasn't my system so I could be a little
off here.  James

That's how it works but I think they used something else like nitrogen.
