    摘要: A portable fuel container configured to prevent liquid fuel contained therein from being entirely emptied from the container. The amount of liquid fuel retained in the container can be sufficient to maintain a fuel-to-air ratio in the container at a fuel-rich level that prevents combustion within the container if the container were to be placed near an ignition source or if an ignition source were to somehow enter the container. The container can also include other safety features such as, for example, a flash suppressor located at the fill opening, an extra wide fill opening, and/or an easily controllable dispensing spout. When a flash suppressor is employed, the perforations in the flash suppressor can be configured to retain fuel therein after fuel has been dispensed from the container and the flash suppressor is no longer submerged in fuel.

    摘要: 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.
