Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1036701 Positive Air Shut-Off is a critical safety device for 2003–2007 Ford 6.0L Power Stroke engines. In the event of a diesel runaway—caused by turbo seal failure, excessive oil ingestion, or fueling malfunction—shutting off fuel alone may not stop the engine. This air shut-off valve immediately cuts off the engine’s air supply, forcing a complete shutdown and preventing catastrophic engine damage.
Designed for rapid response and durability, the BD Diesel Positive Air Shut-Off is mechanically actuated and does not rely on electronics or sensors to function. It is commonly used in fleet, industrial, towing, and performance applications where engine safety is critical. This system provides peace of mind by offering a last line of defense against uncontrolled engine overspeed.

FAQ
What is a diesel runaway?
A diesel runaway occurs when an engine begins consuming oil or an uncontrolled fuel source, causing it to rev uncontrollably even after the key is turned off. Cutting off airflow is the only guaranteed way to stop it.
Does this shut off the engine during normal operation?
No. The valve remains fully open during normal operation and only closes when manually activated in an emergency.
Is this recommended for modified engines?
Yes. Engines with upgraded turbos, higher boost, or heavy-duty towing applications benefit greatly from runaway protection.
