Emergency shut down mod

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

---EMERGENCY SHUTOFF OF DIESEL...I have been told by the old timers
here in Australia that to SHUT OFF a diesel just COVER THE AIR
INTAKE WITH A TOWEL, RAGS ETC......I guess that sometimes diesels
can.."RUN AWAY"... and that's how they shut them off..eg..NO AIR..NO
RUN....I never had the need over here yet but Ralph's "shut off"
switch" reminded me..so I am passing it on...I imagine that I will
get a few comments.........I'm OUTTA HERE in 6 days.....Back to the
great United States of America!!!!!
See Ya!
