Actually I believe the Westy tank (and bar-b-que tanks) are like all
automotive propane fuel tanks.  If the outlet valve breaks off flush with
the surface of the tank, the flow of propane stops.  There is an "excess
flow" valve inside the tank.  If flow exceeds around 3 gpm the valve closes
and flow stops.  I've tried it and it works.  It also works if the propane
line breaks between the outlet valve and the regulator.
