Maybe with an oil pan skid plate. We had a similar valve on a semi and more than once turning in a grain field a stalk has caught it and opened it. One time it dumped almost all the oil before the driver noticed it. Just something to be mindful of if you choose to put one on.

Have it on two vehicles, both problem free, there's a little blue lever lock clip that would've eliminated txroadkill's problems.

The ones we had were a notch in the valve and a spring loaded lever. The stalk was able to push the lever up and the movement of the truck slid it open. A physical lock over the lever in addition to the spring loaded lever and notch would have been ideal. We had 3 trucks that had these on them when we bought them. We removed all three and put a plug back in.
