Abstract
This invention relates to a shroud or flexible wall cover which is adapted to be placed onto the nacelle of an aircraft engine. The shroud is positioned to cover the nacelle discharge port through which hot, high velocity exhaust gases normally are discharged. The formation of a provisional closure across the exhaust gas discharge port precludes the entry of fumes and/or mist from inadvertently spilled fuel entering the discharge port and igniting when coming into contact with hot engine parts. The shroud is provisionally placed into operating position immediately prior to a transfer of fuel from a fueling vehicle into the wind tanks of the aircraft.
