i would tend to think it will ...
im working on a more compleat system that will never flash back beond a certian point ;D so far verry good ;D
i built my first falure rice wool combo arresator today ;D kaboom!!! :o not the first time tho 8)
any how i will be releaseing this system it is not verry expencive to build and so far it has saved my cell 4 times form a a big boom it is my bubbler but is has a built in pressure relief valve rated at 100 psi
so when a flash back makes its way through the arrestor the excessive pressure will be released altho i keep the bubbler right full of water so as little gas as possible is stored in reserve i would think that too much stored gas will result in an exploded bubbler chamber
BE WISE
pics of my unit tomorrow
ps i just installed my bubbler and arrestor in my 2001 honda tonight and im working on a cell design for the car .....
ist
this is a pic of the off the shelf bubbler i use in my expariments
you can buy the same unit for 25 bucks throw 2 hose ends in it and a bubbler hose and you are safe i use this with each flashback arrestor and cell you just cant be to safe
ist
the only thing that i see with that bubbler is that if for some weak ass reason the shit blew up, the bubbler deosnt have a pop off cap, the only difference is its easier to make a new bubbler than a cell... feel me? so as far as safty goes its kinda pointless thered still be plastic shrapnel flyin.... but your definatley in the right direction, some people dont even use bubblers....

may i recommend you have a better look
i am takeing pictures of the unit to point out the releaf valve and compleat assembly and no i dont think this plastic will blow out keep only a little gas in the chamber as i said b4 if you do this you will be safe
ist
pics soon
so why did my arrestor fail ??
i will tell you why
the reason it failed was that i actually grabbed the wrong fitting and tighened on the arrestor it had NO RICE IN THE END duh lol
so a lesson lerned the hard way :)
the secreat with this arrestor is to leave NO GAS/AIR GAP inside the arrestor i would also tend to think almost anything packed tight enough and small enough balls or peices will work as long as it does not BURN EASLY ....

here is my bubbler

here are my 2 saftey devices installed in my car the flashback arrestor and my bubbler i will be building a heat sheild today to go around my bubbler

umm nothing showed up....(pics) try a photobucket direct link, they work for me.... but i understand the part of leaving a small amount of gas in the bubbler, i havent tested flashbacks yet, so have you had a stong bubbler not blow up on you? if the pic shows direct photobucket link works, i got my fine bronze wool from my local boating store west marine for 3.00 great deal, i saw the regular not fine on ebay for 10 with 6 on shipping. this site has lots of great stuff link is to gas 1 way check valves... i was thinking of iuncorperating fine http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog_name=USPlastic&category_name=45&product_id=15641b.wool 2 of these and a tibe on the middle? whatdoya think bro///

god im dumb i think this is not the 1 quid/gas chek valves if its not look for them onthis one site cuz they tight. and if you hold the bowl spark the carb for better smoke production when the gas tank says e thats over a liter per minute what?
Well if all you need is something small and pellet like I bet you could use brass bb's from a bb gun then it wouldn't burn or turn to gunk like the rice.
