Shut off the fuel supply, block the air intake and keep a load on the
engine. You sure as hell don't want to pump CO2 down the airpipe.

Harry, I'm curious why you wouldn't want the engine to breathe CO2.



Because the CO2 is very, very cold and spraying it down into that hot
engine will likely turn the engine into scrap in short order.

Oh? You wouldn't stop a runaway diesel by cutting off the air supply and
shutting off the fuel? What would you do? Stuff rolls of TP in it?

As for the CO2, more than one diesel guru has indicated that the temp
differential would seriously harm the engine.
