Flame Arrester (REC861259) by Recmar A flame arrestor/flame trap is a passive device that allows gas to pass through it but stops the propagation of a fire. Because boat engines can backfire, all gasoline-powered powerboats (except outboards) must have an approved backfire flame arrestor on each carburetor. Backfire flame arrestors keep gasoline vapors from igniting if the engine backfires. The purpose flame arrester is used wherever there is a risk of an explosion caused by the mixing of flammable gas or vapor with air.
