FlameShield Technology Proven to Enhance Fuel Can Safety

Independent testing has confirmed that portable plastic fuel containers equipped with internal flame mitigation devices reduce the chance of personal injury when improperly used around a fire or spark. The internally placed flame mitigation device helps prevent dangerous flame jetting or container combustion when containers are improperly used in the presence of a spark or fire.
