You've still got me thinkkng abou the butterfly in front of the turbo thing. Blocking the air intake somehow would definately shut it down.

I'm not that much of a mechanic so this may be a stupid idea ...

Could you tap into the fuel line under the cab as it comes up the frame rail? Then use a synthetic rubber or even braded hose, run that up through the floorboard with a butterfly valve. That way you could turn the fuel on\off from within the cab.

Just a thought.

Mike

I think he already thought abou that Mike, but he doesn't want to run a fuel line into his cab ( which I don't blame him )

I think he meant to just put the handle of the valve in the cab with the fuel lines remaining under the truck

This is what i would install. Its a 2-wayelectric solenoid fuel cut off valve, you can cut the fuel supply by mounting a switch under your dash or something, and the valve is mounted somewhere on your fuel line and won't need to be plumbed into the cab. In the diagram they mounted a 3-way valve between the transfer pump and the injector pump that way when the valve was in the off position it would deliver the fuel from the transfer pump back to the fuel tank.
