"... the FSD protected only the main burner, not the pilot. If the pilot was extinguished, there was still the risk of a small gas leakage." Not true in more modern appliances which use pilot lights (1980s onwards?). Typically to light the pilot the user has to press and hold a button to turn on the gas supply to the pilot. Once the pilot is running (5-10 seconds) the button can be released because the suppression device has opened the safety valve. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 16:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Differences in use of FSD's world wide[edit]
I removed the statement and tag
FSDs are found on all modern gas appliances.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}}
because no supporting statement (that is also true) can be found. As an example, this safety device is not required by law or regulation in the U.S. on gas range cookers (top burners or jobs in the UK) though they are probably found in all gas ovens in the U.S.
Since this is a safety issue, the article should be expanded to cover regulation and use of FSD's world wide—or at least edited to caution that FSD usage differs among countries and larger or smaller political unions. I've made a start by adding a disclaimer. — Neonorange (talk) 18:38, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
