Michele Williams--thanks for setting the record straight. The new OPD =
valve is VERY important. Wish it had been around in '97. If it had I =
would not have had to drive a burned up man eighty miles to a Reno =
hospital. He died that night. His bar-b-Que party took a deadly turn =
when his overfilled tank erupted.

My hats off to your hubby for his safety engineering. As it is I have to =
remember a ride that was one and a quarter hours of a scream that never =
stopped. An OPD valve could have prevented it all.

Safety is serious business. Twenty plus years as an Army Paratrooper =
taught me that. My advice is to never accept any tirade against safety =
without learning the facts.
