flame gauze
 

Hi, The surveyor who inspected my boat mentioned a priority replacement of
the "fuel tank flame gauze" in his report, but I have been unable to find
out what he was referring to. The marina where my boat is isn't familiar
with that term either.

He (Johnathon Watson for those of you who know of him) has passed away since
doing the survey.

Thanks

That's a term commonly used in the UK.
In fact, if your boat is propelled by a "petrol" engine, you're apparetnly
required (in the UK) to have a gauze around the fill and vent lines.

I think this is a sort of flame retarding material, something like (but surely
not) asbestos.

************

7.1.2 A vessel should be provided with a fuel tank of sufficient capacity for
the main engines, and its area of operation. All fuel tanks vents should be
fitted with a flame gauze as required by BS/EN/ISO 10088, and carried to at or
above tank filling plate level and where there should be no danger from
escaping fuel or vapour.

The fuel tank's vent (usually the little chrome fitting under the
gunwale high on the outside of the hull) must have a flame arresting
gauze in it, over time they fall to bits. Easiest to just fit a new fuel
vent outlet.

There are at least four major English dialects, British, American,
Canadian,
and Australian. Fuel gauze mey be a term that is used in Aus. as well as
in
Brit.

I have a hard time reconciling your description with the language from the
UK
regulations. What am I missing?


" All fuel tanks vents should be
fitted with a flame gauze as required by BS/EN/ISO 10088, and carried to

"Carried to" seems to imply a material running some distance, rather than
a bit
of screen stuffed in the fill tube.

Is Aussie speak close enough to Brit speak that you understand the precise
meaning of the regulation?

Thanks in advance.

But this is a real worry, is it possible he's so ignorant of boat
matters that he doesn't realise??? Honestly no wonder he's the OT queen.

ALL "installed" petrol tanks have a vent which "must" vent to outside
the boat?? (this is all in the USL code) The vent must be fitted with a
flame proof gauze (usually stainless but other non flammable material is
OK)

I think you'll have a hard time even buying a fuel tank vent that isn't
fitted with a flame proof gauze.

Here they're cheap enough, here's a link;

http://www.whitworths.com.au/main_it...AbsolutePage=1

& that's A$ NB A$12.95

Have a look Chuck it's that little (usually chrome) about 1" diam
thingo you see up high on the hull near where ever the tank is mounted.

The link you posted is correct, you just don't know how to read it.

The common term for that item in the US is a vent screen.

To the original poster: if you can ignore the
pleasant personal remarks from K Smith and "Me Too", you need to replace the
screens in your fuel tank vent lines.

Fornicate thee.

Do you see a similarity between the description in the UK regs regarding fuel
gauze and a bit of material stuffed into a fill pipe? If so, good for you. I
didn't so I asked for some additional information. I learn something new every
day.

Of course, it doesn't matter to a guy who doesn't even own a boat and only
hangs around here to stir crap. Nice hobby you got there. That has to be the
10th time you have fantasized about my underwear.
Posting unprovoked personal comments might not be your only hobby.



Chuck you are the most abusive person here!!! Anyone who doesn't kowtow
to you &/or your non boating lying mate Krause is attacked.

Honestly Chuck I know you come from the "sell, sell, sell" side of life
but you should know about basic safety stuff. Even for your own good:-)

You still don't seem to be able to read the UK reg. ???? which is the
same outcome as all the others, just framed differently. It's not the
"fill" pipe, that pipe usually has a proper sealing closure on it (the
lid??), it's the tank's small vent line, the one that lets air in to
replace consumed fuel; but much much more importantly for the safety of
the tank & boat, it lets air AND fuel vapours out as the tank heats up etc.

On a hot day there is some flow of fuel vapour out the vent; it needs a
flame gauze so if there is an ignition source around; say that lying
idiot Krause smoking?? on the wharf of course because he's never
actually been boating:-)

Also Sprach K. Smith :

fitted with a flame proof gauze.

Actually, I did buy one here in the US. It was crap, I returned it.

For those of you wondering how this works, the mesh screen acts as a
quenching device preventing a flame in the fuel vapor outside the vent
from passing inside the vent. The type of flamable vapor determines the
size of mesh (or orifice) reqired. It's been a while, but seem to recall
that the quenching distance for gasoline vapor in air is somewhere around
2mm. I've seen several vents with large gauge mesh which I suspect would
not prevent flame spread.

BTW Chuck, I do think that Karen is correct on this one. We use what you
describe all the time in aircraft engine installations, it's called
firesleeve.

Another name for this is "Flame Screen". It normally consist of "screen"
material (stainless, brass, steel) with a requirement of 30x30 mesh.
Check your local regs for exact requirements of "mesh" (In US, that
would be 30 "holes"/inch along a side of a square inch) for your country.

Bull****.

Look back in the thread. Did I "attack" Jimmie Me Too, or did he just come
charging in making comments about underwear, etc, without any provocation?

Check that out, and express an opinion.

I don't chase people around the NG trying to pick a fight, but I am getting a
bit less
tolerant of a small group of mental midgets
with no other apparent purpose here. When they come looking for me, they may
not much like what ther're going to find in the future.

You can often be too plain spoken and abusive for your own good. Even though
you are often wrong, (or at least controversial) in some of your opinions and
you often become insulting without provocation, you are at least a boater. That
puts you ahead of some here who are not.

Honestly Chuck I know you come from the "sell, sell, sell" side of life
but you should know about basic safety stuff. Even for your own good:-)

In the US, we more routinely use the term "screen" rather than "gauze" for the
same material. You can talk about a flame arresting "screen" on a carb, an
alternator, or what not and everybody will know what you mean. "Gauze" is
really cryptic. If that was a US survey, the surveyor should have
done the customer a favor and expressed his recommendations in commonspeak.

And yeah, I come from the sell, sell, sell side of the business. You ought to
be darn grateful for guys like me. If we didn't sell, sell, sell all this
stuff, stuff, stuff, there wouldn't be much for you to fix, fix, fix, would
there? :-)

First of, we were discussing a bit of gauze stuffed into a vent pipe, not
a fill pipe... and that is exactly what the UK regs were talking
about. Here's a quote from another UK boat safety site by their
Environment Agency:

"Any flame close to or at the end of the vent pipe could flash back into
the fuel tank. Because of this, each vent pipe opening must be fitted with
an effective flame arrester (see diagram - outlet of vent pipe below deck
level) that prevents flashback. It's recommended that the flame arrester
has gauze with mesh not less than 11 to the linear centimetre (or 28 to
the linear inch) and to be effective the gauze must also completely cover
the pipe opening. You can help maintain its effectiveness by keeping it
clear of debris such as paint or spiders' webs."

Time for some chill pills Chuckie. It is ok to be wrong. But it is not ok
not to see that you are.

Time for another break from the NG Chuck like you did last year. You are
about to explode once again.

'Tis only a NG. Relax and take a deep breath.

But you do this all the time!!! Honestly Chuckles you criticise

Tolerant?? as if what?? you think can do something??? Don't hold back &
certainly don't cut me any slack, I don't seek nor need any "tolerance"
from you, damn you are so full of it.

of a small group of mental midgets
with no other apparent purpose here.

Mental midgets; what?? compared to you & the liar Krause??? Chuck I'm
surprised you can breath unassisted, truly if I were there I'd want ice
water pured in your ears. You post political OT mindless nonsense & even
your on topic stuff is pathetic, mostly parroting whatever you've been
fed by the people you're in league with to make sales, more commonly
known as spam, but knowing you actually believe yours is embarrassingly sad.

When they come looking for me, they may
not much like what ther're going to find in the future.

Chuck are you pretending you can get worse??? how???


You can often be too plain spoken and abusive for your own good.

There ya go again, "for my own good" what as if you can bother me?? as
if I care what you say or (& I use the term loosely) think??? You are a
used car salesman who then graduated to used boat seller, you are just
that nothing more.

Even though
you are often wrong, (or at least controversial) in some of your opinions and
you often become insulting without provocation, you are at least a boater. That
puts you ahead of some here who are not.

You should apply the same test to your lying non boating mate Krause.

I understand that, but equally all boaters know the vent is screened &
it's screened with a metal gauze, you apparently didn't but then got
upset when someone commented.

I guess this makes sense to you, but not me. Chuck you pass on
deceptions & BS which when you do it as if you know about this "stuff"
means you are not just another innocent victim of BS but a perpetrator!!!!.

No wonder you specialise in OT threads.

Naw, I'm not going to explode. As always, I will refrain from picking a fight

you did in this thread, there can be no denial) don't act all hurt and wounded
if your puny little salvo is returned rather amplified. I think some people

You're a conservative, Jim. You like rules.

"different" league than persons I would care to trade barbs with?

If you insist on shifting a discussion of an obscure technical term to a

attempt to make that shift with your sewer pipe quality insulting remarks,
don't be surprised if I respond.

(knowing full well I shouldn't respond. It's the response that's the payoff for
