BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown - Generic 3.0in

BD Diesel is a well-known name for performance parts, and they offer a robust solution for emergency engine shutdown with their Positive Air Shutdown (PAS) system. This system is particularly important for vehicles in industries like mining, oil refining, forestry, and mobile welding, where having a reliable way to stop the engine quickly is critical. The most effective way to achieve this is by cutting off the air supply, which stops fuel ignition and brings the engine to a halt within seconds.

This PAS unit features an inline butterfly valve that's activated by a heavy-duty electrical solenoid. When triggered, it swiftly shuts down the engine. BD's design simplifies the system by reducing the number of parts and overall size compared to other units on the market. They've used aluminum and stainless steel components along with weatherproof electrical connectors to ensure it holds up against corrosion, even in harsh environments. Installation is made easier with innovative bead boot locks, meaning no welding is required for hose connections.

This kit comes complete with automatic over-speed electronics and, for some applications, includes CAC pipes. It's designed to be a comprehensive solution, much like having a safety device ready for unexpected events. Diesel engine runaway, though rare, can happen if external hydrocarbons are drawn into the engine, leading to over-speeding and potential catastrophic failure, putting life, limb, and your vehicle at risk. This BD Diesel PAS system acts as a crucial safety measure, cutting off intake air to safely shut down the engine.
