Abstract:
A flame mitigation device configured to be located proximate a main container opening of a fuel container having a fuel-receiving chamber, with the main container opening permitting liquid fuel to flow into and out of the fuel-receiving chamber. The flame mitigation device comprises a sidewall defining a plurality of perforations through which the liquid fuel can flow to dispense such liquid fuel from the fuel-receiving chamber when the flame mitigation device is installed within the fuel container. At least a portion of the perforations defined in the sidewall are downwardly sloping perforations, with the downward angle of the downwardly sloping perforations being at least 1 degree below horizontal. And at least 20 percent of the total open area defined by all of said perforations is attributable to downwardly sloping perforations.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for coupling a flame mitigation device to a fuel container, wherein the fuel container comprises 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, wherein said method comprises the steps of:\n providing the flame mitigation device comprising a sidewall defining a plurality of perforations through which liquid fuel flows when dispensing liquid fuel from the fuel-receiving chamber, and wherein the flame mitigation device further comprises a pair of wing elements extending outwardly from the sidewall; and inserting the flame mitigation device through the main container opening of the fuel container, wherein during said inserting step, the wing elements are compressed adjacent to an outer surface of the flame mitigation device; and securing the flame mitigation device within the main container opening of the fuel container, wherein during said securing step, the wing elements expand away from the outer surface of the flame mitigation device.
