Runaway diesel engines ????

A CO2 fie extinguisher aimed at the intake can starve the engine of oxygen and stop a run away engine. This wo4ks well if the intake is hard to get to.

Yep, it's nice to have "if" it's in your vehicle,
keep in mind, it doesn't take long for the smoke to completely hide your vehicle.
I now always keep a 2x6 inch plank at the ready, just in case, no air and she dies.
Best to familiarize yourself where the air intake is, just in case.

choke plates are life savers!
