A protective propane tank valve housing assembly for motor vehicle propane fuel tanks, has an elongated propane fuel tank with a set of controls disposed on the tank and spaced apart in a direction lengthwise thereon. A casing has side and end panels, which define a side opening of the casing. A casing cover is pivotally connected at a first end panel, and swingable between a closed position in which the casing cover lies adjacent, and covers, the side opening of the casing, and an open position outwardly pivoted from the closed position. The casing cover further has a first flange extending from a second end of it. A second flange extends from the second end panel of the casing, and mates with first flange when the casing cover is closed. Such an arrangement allows a lock to extend between the first and second flanges, to lock the casing cover in the closed position. In a typical installation, the casing is already provided on the fuel tank, and the casing cover and the second flange, are mounted on brackets which are connected to the casing. |
