I was dead set on getting one of these from Imparts, until I told a friend 
how clever I thought I was for doing so.  He said, "What if a rock kicks 
up and flips the valve?  It would drain all your oil out onto the 
ground."

He talked me out of it.  How hard would it be for this pessimistic thing 
to happen?  Does it have pretty sturdy resistance to opening?
