ABSTRACT:
A safety device for preventing uncontrolled burning in wick-fed liquid fuel burners employs a thermal barrier between the heat of the combustion process and a removable fuel tank 60. Also, a fuel containment compartment (24) and fuel containment sump (44) are provided to receive fuel from the fuel chamber (40) when excess fuel is delivered to the fuel chamber from the removable fuel tank. When the fuel in the fuel chamber exceeds a predetermined level, a warning gauge needle 90 is deflected, alerting the user of the liquid fuel burner to a dangerous condition.
