Next someone said something about carrying a board to cover the intake in the event of a runaway. Carry a sharp knife instead.

We used those shutoffs in the oil fields, they work. No way would I even open the hood of a runaway, they can blow apart so fast that by time you even get to your senses it is all over, at least that is my experience. We had one truck that sucked in some propane when we were off loading, the driver was in the seat, as the truck in front of him had a fitting fail, he started sucking propane and killed the truck just in time... Nothing to mess with. I have always thought of putting one of those valves on here, just in case...
