Abstract
The flame arrester is optimized for installation within fuel containers. The flame arrester has an optional elongate, generally cylindrical skeletal frame having opposing first and second ends. The first end is configured as a mounting flange adapted for permanent, immovable installation within the tank or container and the second end may include a spring-loaded check valve. The frame is covered by a woven or nonwoven textile material, or alternatively, by a porous or foraminous sheet material. Fuel and vapors pass through the cylindrical textile wall, the porosity of the textile serving to prevent flame propagation through the textile material. The pore size is between 0.4 mm and 3.2 mm.
