An apparatus capable of storing and expelling a large quantity of fluid is provided, having an elastic hollow tube having an open end through which fluid may be inserted into and expelled out of the tube; hollow elongate outer enclosure surrounding the tube, and a slidable inner sleeve located between the tube and the outer enclosure. The inner sleeve slides through the outer tube upon contact by the tube as the tube axially expands, thereby preventing crimping of the tube.
