Abstract
Structure mounted at the top edge of an open top tank having a floating roof covering the fluid contents. It is an airfoil that extends above the edge, and directs air flow due to wind, down onto the windward side of the roof to equalize the otherwise uneven pressure caused by wind that increases the undesirable vapor emissions from the contents of the tank and could tend to tip the roof.
