ABSTRACT:
A cover for a pressurized fuel tank has at least one heat-reflecting wall surface. Preferably, both sides of the cover wall are heat-reflecting. Preferably, the heat-reflecting property is obtained by metalizing the surfaces, e.g., with mirrored plastic films such as aluminum-coated mylar. Alternatively, the cover wall is made out of a very light (heat-reflective) color. By enclosing the tank within the cover, heat is reflected away from the tank rather than absorbed. While some heat may be transferred to the tank, in general the cover reflects enough heat to prevent a significant number of accidental gas ventings and associated fires. Other features include a slit in the top of the cover through which the fuel line may be fed to the covered tank valve; one or more small air and gas vent holes; and indicia on the inside and outside of the cover for revealing whether the covered tank is full or empty.
