Abstract:
1. A fuel container comprising: a hollow tank body defining a fuel-receiving chamber and a main container opening for permitting flow of a liquid fuel into and out of the fuel-receiving chamber; a fuel dispensing assembly coupled to the tank body proximate the main container opening and configured to dispense the liquid fuel from the container; and a fuel retention structure located proximate the main container opening and extending generally downwardly into the fuel-receiving chamber, wherein the fuel retention structure comprises a plurality of perforations through which the liquid fuel must flow in order to dispense the liquid fuel from the container, wherein the fuel retention structure is configured to retain a quantity of the liquid fuel in the chamber when the container is tipped or inverted to dispense the liquid fuel therefrom, wherein the retained quantity of the liquid fuel is sufficient to provide a fuel-air mixture proximate to the main container opening that is too rich to support combustion.
