An aircraft engine reservoir system includes a reservoir inner chamber containing a flammable fluid. A chamber inlet is fluidly connectable to a flammable fluid source pressurizing the fluid. The chamber includes an outlet. An air source operates at a pressure that is lower that a flammable fluid pressure during an engine operational condition. A valve selectively fluidly connecting the chamber to the air source is movable between a closed position, in which the chamber flammable fluid pressure acting on the valve exceeds the air source pressure acting on the valve such that the valve blocks the air from entering the chamber, and an open position, in which the chamber flammable fluid pressure acting on the valve is lower than the air source pressure acting on the valve such that the valve allows the air to flow into the chamber and evacuate the flammable fluid from the chamber through the outlet.
