Claim:
1. An enclosed fluidic storage vessel, comprising: an interior volume defined by an enclosure adapted to contain a stored fluid; an orifice through the enclosure for communication with the stored fluid; a continuous, elongated permeable medium in a sealing engagement to the orifice for directing fluids passing through the orifice to the permeable medium for passage therethrough, the permeable medium defining a deformable sock of flexible material, the flexible material having porosity sufficient to quench a flame from passage through the permeable medium and sufficient to allow fluidic ingress and egress through the permeable medium, the permeable medium defined by a continuous sheet material affixed around a circumference of the orifice for directing dispensed fluid through the continuous sheet, and the sock attached to a side of the enclosure at a closed end of the sock by an attachment, the attachment maintaining the permeable medium in an elongated shape for preventing compression of the permeable medium from impeding fluid flow, the elongated shape supported at a proximate end by a sealing engagement at the orifice and by a fused closure at a distal end, wherein the attachment tethers the fused end of the elongated shape to the side of the enclosure.
