A fuel cylinder for use in fueling vapor-powered machines and devices is claimed. The fuel cylinder contains a fuel vapor withdrawal pipe that bends upward towards the top edge of the cylinder when the cylinder is in its position of use, for example, the horizontal position if the tank is used horizontally. A liquid splash guard surrounds the inlet of the fuel vapor withdrawal pipe to protect the inlet from splashing of liquid propane in the cylinder. A brace connects to the fuel vapor withdrawal pipe to stabilize the fuel pipe during high vibration use. In one embodiment, the splash guard and brace are welded to the internal surface of a joggle in the rim of the upper head portion of the cylinder before the upper head portion and lower head portion of the cylinder are mated and welded together.
