A fuel deoxygenation system (100) for an aircraft includes a hydrocarbon recycler (101) configured to recycle hydrocarbon gas into fuel (119). The hydrocarbon recycler (101) includes a housing (103) that partially defines an ullage channel (105) configured to fluidly communicate with both an ullage (107) of an aircraft fuel tank and a vent (109), wherein the housing (103) partially defines a hydrocarbon recirculation channel (111) configured to fluidly communicate with a liquid portion (113a) of a fuel tank (113). The hydrocarbon recycler (101) also includes a membrane (115) defining a sealing wall between the ullage channel (105) and the hydrocarbon recirculation channel (111) such that the membrane (115) is in fluid communication with both the ullage channel (105) and the hydrocarbon recirculation channel (111), wherein the membrane (115) is configured to be permeable to hydrocarbons such that hydrocarbons in the ullage channel (105) can pass through the membrane (115) to the hydrocarbon recirculation channel (111) and oxygen in the ullage channel (105) to passes through to be vented.
