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 13):
A fuel container comprising:\n 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 said fuel-receiving chamber; a fuel dispensing assembly coupled to said tank body proximate said main container opening and configured to dispense the liquid fuel from said fuel container; and a fuel retention structure located proximate said main container opening and extending generally downwardly into said fuel-receiving chamber, wherein said fuel retention structure comprises a plurality of perforations through which the liquid fuel must flow to dispense the liquid fuel from said fuel container, wherein said fuel retention structure is configured to retain a quantity of the liquid fuel after said fuel 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 said main container opening that is too rich to support combustion, wherein said fuel retention structure comprises a sidewall defining a plurality of said perforations, wherein at least a portion of said perforations defined in said sidewall are downwardly sloping perforations, wherein a downward angle of said downwardly sloping perforations is at least 1 degree below horizontal, wherein at least 20 percent of the total open area defined by all of said perforations is attributable to downwardly sloping perforations.
