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.


Ever hear of nitrous? Also extremely cold when discharged from a
pressurized bottle.

And don't spout off about all of the engines that grenade from nitrous
- it's not the temp differential.
