2. Dale Emery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Emery

   Emery wrecked Burkhart's silver Camaro fuel funny car at the 1977 U.S. Nationals. Though track marshals had to cut him from the car, Emery suffered only a broken bone in his left arm, which was pierced by the lever of the fuel shut-off valve. [2] It proved to be his last race. [2]

3. Petcock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petcock

   Fuel petcock on a 1978 Yamaha XS400. Most older motorcycles have a three-position fuel petcock valve (known as a "petrol tap" in the UK) mounted on or nearby the fuel tank to control the supply of gasoline: on, off, and reserve. The reserve position accesses the bottom portion of the fuel tank.

4. Rev limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev_limiter

   A spark-ignition engine may also shut off fuel or stop the spark ignition and some just reduce the engine's power by changing the spark timing. In the case of an automatic transmission in "drive" mode, the engine RPM stays safely within the range that the transmission chooses.

5. List of valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

   Valves can be categorized into the following types, based on their operating mechanism: Ball valve, for on–off control without pressure drop. Ideal for quick shut-off, since a 90° turn completely shuts off, compared to multiple 360° turns for other manual valves; Butterfly valve, for on–off flow control in large diameter pipes

6. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

   For air intake shut down, two distinct types are commonly utilized, i.e. butterfly valves and swing gate or guillotine valves. Because diesel engines ignite fuel using compression instead of an electronic ignition, shutting off the fuel source to a diesel engine will not necessarily stop the engine from running.

7. Rochester Ramjet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester_Ramjet

   Unlike later fuel injection systems that used electronics, this one is based on purely mechanical principles. The two main sub-assemblies of the system are the air meter and the fuel meter. The air meter measures airflow into the engine and manages thermostatic warmup enrichment, fuel shutoff on overrun, and idle settings.
