Abstract
Embodiments include thermal covers to help drain fluids away from dangerous environments, e.g., in an engine bay in a vehicle. Thermal covers can comprise a hat portion extending between two distal edges, support straps beneath the hat portion and extending between the distal edges, and thermal insulation disposed between the hat portion and the support straps. These can be coupled to the floor so as to allow space below for the flow of fluid. This allows the fluid to flow to holes in the floor of the engine bay, allowing the fluid (which could be flammable) to be drained away from potentially dangerous environments in the engine bay which may involve high temperatures.
