What is flame blow back?

Flame blowback is a combustion-related phenomenon where flames are forced to reverse their direction due to high pressure or airflow, causing them to temporarily move back toward the ignition source. This can be dangerous as it can lead to burns, equipment damage, or spread of fire. Safety measures and proper ventilation are essential to prevent flame blowback.

How big is a flame on a natural gas furnace?

The pilot flame is/should be about 1.5" long, the diameter of a pencil. When the burners are going, the gas is shot into the burner manifold, and the gas sent to the burner is designed to go to the back of the heat exchanger. So, in a typical 80,000 input heater, about 14"-18" long.

Why does your 110 ATV blow gas out of the back of the carburetor?

If your 110 ATV is blowing gas out of the back of the carburetor, it’s likely due to a clogged or stuck float needle, which prevents the float from sealing properly and causes fuel to overflow. Another possibility is that the carburetor is overfilled due to incorrect adjustment or a malfunctioning petcock. Additionally, a dirty or malfunctioning carburetor may lead to excessive fuel flow, exacerbating the issue. Cleaning the carburetor and ensuring all components are functioning correctly can help resolve this problem.
