Variable-gravity anti-vortex and vapor-ingestion-suppression device

A method of managing a liquid with a liquid management device within a liquid storage tank, wherein the tank has an outlet, the method comprising:

• suppressing the formation of a vortex of the liquid exiting the storage tank through the outlet with a first member;
• suppressing vapor ingestion into the outlet with a plate having a first side, a second side, and a center, said first side associated generally perpendicular to said first member;
• and
• moving a bubble of gas away from the outlet with a second member operatively associated with said second side of said plate, and disposed in a plane extending generally co-planar with said first member.

A method of substantially reducing vapor ingestion into an outlet of a liquid storage tank, in any gravity environment, the method comprising:

• positioning a bottom of a first vane generally adjacent the outlet;
• providing a plate generally perpendicular to said first vane and adjacent a top of said first vane;
• and
• wetting said plate with a second vane extending from said plate to substantially maintain said plate in a wet condition with a liquid.
