Can someone tell me the name of this gas tank screen that fits down into the neck and who made them? Are the for splits or did they come out later? Must be hard to find because I have never seen one. Info?

The screen was a standard equipment 48- mid49 and again the first months in 50. The tank cap has a special spring when screen was used, spring keeps the screen on the place.

My September '50 split and my November '50 split have it. Here is a picture of my November '50 split original gas tank and flame arrester.

Hey Frank, like Mika says, you're going to need to find the right cap to use with the flame arrestor.

Here's what you need:

I have noticed there were two kind of screens, the early and later version.

So I believe the early needs also the early cap with extra "wings". But the later screen works with the later cap.

Not all tanks accept the spark arrestor. The tanks that do, have a metal ridge welded inside the fill neck. Without this ridge, the arrestor will fall into the tank.

the upper end is different for the early 48/49 and later screens. Later looks to go upper and later cap keeps it on the place?

I have one of these special gas caps. How much are they worth?
