Question possible theft deterrent

Was wondering if any body has used a valve with a elec. coil (normally closed) as a theft deterrent. Something similar to the valves used on a nitrous system (example: NOS fuel valve for their wet systems). I don't know if it has to be a special valve or maybe DOT approved. I'm sure some one makes them. But if not I was wondering how long a NOS valve coil would last being on for a long time. And if it would build up to much heat?

Re: possible theft deterrent

Check out some of the propane conversion systems. We use to run propane fueled lift trucks and they had one that opened with the key and ran all day.

Talking Re: possible theft deterrent

The dual tank switch valve would work (and was looking at them online). The propane shut off valve would work also. I was told to check some boat part suppliers for electric remote fuel shut offs.
