Back-Fire Flame Control Device 2.6

Gasoline engines installed in a vessel after April 25, 1940, except outboard motors, must be equipped with an acceptable means of backfire flame control. The device must be suitably attached to the air intake with a flame tight connection and is required to be Coast Guard approved or comply with SAE-J-1928 or UL 1111 standards and marked accordingly. Arrestors are designed to prevent a back-fire, which can result when fuel spills or leaks into the engine area and is ignited. Make a point to include arrestors in your monthly fire extinguisher inspection. Arrestors need to be cleaned periodically. During cleaning, ensure arrestors are securely fastened, and check for damage.
