Seems like it would be easy enough to build one for a couple hundred bucks with gas engine throttle body and choke cable. My old 5.0 Mustang had a 70mm TB, it'd need to be... about 100mm. I'd think the aftermarket would have one for the newer 4.6 forced induction applications, and just activate the butterfly manually. There's got to be a gas engine with a round TB that's close, either OEM or aftermarket. Just guessing here.

umm a real easy way ... just cut off fuel and have argon near by ... its an inert gas (wont burn) ..... that should shut'er down .... works on detroits that I have heard overspeed......

I honestly would not think twice about it. I have no fuel plate n AFC mods for more rack travel and runaway hasn't crossed my mind.

I have always been thinking about this, either using Miron or Argon and dump that in the intake in case of an emergency...

That would shut down a diesel, or am i incorrect ?

ehm, Mison and Argon are used as shielding gasses when welding, i don't think it's flammable but the contrary... if it was flammable you wouldn't be able to weld with it...

I generally use Mison 20 as a shielding agent no matter what i'm welding...

It works ... especially with someone on the cab that can put it in gear at the lower rpm's .... once safe to enguage or dump clutch .... be outta the way though ....

ever seem what happent to metal when u use dry or wet extingusher .... not pretty ... was wondering if halon would be another option... carbob dioxide would be another great option... dont use a regulator , for obvious reasons
