ABSTRACT:
An anti-explosion protection system (10) for flammable vapors comprising a tank (12) for holding a flammable liquid (14) therein. An inflatable air bag (16) is within the tank (12) in a space above the flammable liquid (14). An assemblage (18) is for expanding and contracting the inflatable air bag (16) at the same rate as the flammable liquid (14) exits and enters the tank (12), thereby preventing the flammable vapors from forming within the space above the flammable liquid (14) which could explode and rupture the tank (12). An assembly (20) is for monitoring and visually indicating the movement of the flammable liquid (14) out of and into the tank (12).
