Yeah, the old "rogue stick" scenario. Many other fluid system parts, connections, and other doo-hickies are also susceptible.
Tres Crowes is right, though. I've seen fuel bowls hanging out of tractors and diesel equipment since I was a kid. I think the old equipment engineers used to dress 'low and to the right.'
I'm able to balance the convenience of being able to monitor the sediment with the exposure. If I start using my 2210 in conditions that threaten the fuel bowl, I've breached the safety threshold and need a TLB. If I were a hotdog JD salesman, I'd sell it to you as a safety feature "...when the bowl gets knocked off, you've gone too far!" /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
