City buses around here that were equipped with Detroit diesels had an emergency shut off built in that consisted of some sort of flap that would block the air supply. Pretty sure it was standard with those engines, but I don't know for certain.

Had a broken spring in the injector of my Kubota, engine ran up to 3 grand, even shutting the ignition wouldn't stop it. (This also de-activates the fuel supply solenoid, no manual shutoff) Thank god the governor worked. I ended up ripping off the fuel hose as I apparently couldn't think quickly enough to plug the intake. Then my buddy, who teaches solid model printing , 'Printed ' me a little plastic paddle, complete with instructions to place over intake of engine to shut off engine. So, now it hangs in my engine compartment next to the intake!

My suggestion is to cut off the air flow at the intake. When my engine Yanmar 4JH "ran away" (injection pump problem) I used a nearby small plastic container to block the air intake. Engine slowed immediately and stopped. Bill MYSTY Landfall 39. In a message dated 5/17/2013 11:19:26 P.M.

What was that?

They will enthusiastically tell you what it isn't. It isn't Kerosene or fish oil. Lately they also swear it is not Stoddard solvent, but that really is splitting less than a hair. It is so close to Stoddard solvent in makeup that it is functionally the same thing. Stoddard Solvent is a bit more refined than kerosene, but for starting a balky diesel, it is close enough to water-white kerosene to work for that purpose. I think it has a lower flash point than Stoddard solvent, which is an asset for this purpose. The term Stoddard Solvent covers a range of petroleum distillates. If someone calls the main ingredient of WD-40 "Stoddard Solvent", I don't think you can call them wrong, regardless of marketing department claims to the contrary.
