On certain propane fueled trucks, a crimp on the housing of the 80 percent shut-off valve at the tank, designed to prevent the valve stem from coming out of the housing may be missing. This allows the valve stem to be turned out beyond the intended limit. Should this occur, the possibility of propane leakage exists. Correction: By means of a specially designed tool, dealers will crimp any valves that may have this condition.
