Re: Flame arrestor?
It keeps you from hooking the fuel gauge arm & float with the pump nozzle.

Re: Flame arrestor?
It's for smokers that have lost the cap.
Do you really have warning signs about women? |

Re: Flame arrestor?
The arrestor fell into the tank while fueling so many times that I removed it 40 years ago.

Re: Flame arrestor?
Can someone post a picture of an original spark arrester? I’m guessing it’s different from what Bratton’s sells today. https://www.brattons.com/gas-tank-filler-screen.html

Don't know why he thinks it will help in a crash. It's not like it wraps around the outside of the tank or something. Maybe if the passengers wore one ... |

Re: Flame arrestor?
Bratton’s lists it as a screen which also serves as a “spark arrester” for $12.05. Their screen does not screw in nor does it have tabs, “it just sits there”.
If you want the original type it’s $50! David Serrano |

Thanks for the clarification. My tank does not have one. Someone remarked that the tank fills more slowly with this device. Does that mean that the nozzle “clicks off” a number of times without the tank actually being full (because the fuel hasn’t had time to go through the screen into the tank)?

I finally gave up filling my Roadster at the gas station. I take a five gallon plastic gas carrier to station when I fill my Daily Driver, and I use the gas carrier and a big funnel to fill the Model A gas tank at home. I don’t tour so that is the best solution for me. David Serrano |

Re: Flame arrestor?
Just as an aside to this discussion I would like to mention I am an old timer and from my youth days I recall all gasoline trucks that delivered gasoline to service stations had a chain from the truck chassis that simply dragged on the street.
