BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown - Ford 2011-2014 6.7L

The butterfly valve design in this BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown system uses aluminum and stainless components, along with weatherproof electrical connectors, to resist corrosion. This system is crucial for certain industries like mining, oil refining, and forestry, where an emergency engine shutdown capability is often required by regulation. It works by placing a valve in the air intake line that, when activated by a heavy-duty electrical solenoid, cuts off the air supply to the engine, stopping combustion within seconds. This is a vital safety measure against rare but dangerous situations like diesel engine runaway, where external hydrocarbons can cause over-speeding and catastrophic engine failure, putting lives and the vehicle at risk.

BD Diesel has simplified the design, resulting in a smaller overall unit compared to many competitors. Installation is made easier thanks to innovative bead boot locks, meaning no welding is required for hose connections. This kit includes the air shutoff valve, boots, wiring harness, electronic module, piping, clamps, Velcro strips, heat shrink, solder, and hardware, making it a comprehensive solution for your shutdown needs. Standard applications also come with automatic over-speed electronics and CAC pipes, ensuring a more complete integration with your vehicle's air intake system.

Having a system like this is akin to having a fire extinguisher or an earthquake kit – it's about being prepared for the worst-case scenario. It provides peace of mind, knowing that you have a reliable method to safely shut down the engine quickly if an emergency arises.
