A liquid storage tank (16), for example an aircraft fuel tank, comprising a tank wall enclosing a liquid storage space (14), and a tie assembly located at least partially within the liquid storage space (14). The tie assembly comprises an elongate member (20), for example a wire or cable, and a plurality of attachment devices (22) fixed to an inner surface of the tank wall. The elongate member (20) includes a plurality of spaced part points along its length, each of the spaced apart points being fixed to a respective attachment device (22) such that the tie assembly resists outward deformation of the tank wall. |
