Hi, are you talking about "flame" arrester?

[Washoo]

Yes. Installation of flame arrester on the exhaust of fork lifter, mobile crane and any diesel engine driven vehicle used in the process area of oil and gas field.

Sound strange as a request for the exhaust of diesel-driven ...

anyway, I just know this standadrd in Europe

EN 12874 "Flame arresters -

Performance requirements, test methods and limits for use"

Yes, this is often part of the exhaust system, but: a flame arrester cannot stop sparks so this is used in combination.
I was working in the standards committee for EN 12874 but the standard (already replaced by ISO 16852) gave no further information.
Vent of the crankhouse is also an issue to take into account !
