Frequently Asked Questions

What is a “runaway” condition?

A runaway is a condition that can occur (most frequently in diesel engines) when the engine starts to use something other than the fuel it is designed to run on, like engine oiul through a blown turbo seal. When this happens, the engine will run away past the redline it was designed to top out at, and will only stop if the intake is manually plugged (which is very dangerous), or the engine blows or seizes (the most common way when the engine has ran away on its own lubricating oil.

Because the engine is running at a faster RPM than it was designed to, attempting to plug the intake is obviously very dangerous, as he engine could potentially blow a hole in the block, and become sort of a frag grenade.

How Does JTM,s Runaway suppressor work?

The Runaway Diesel Suppressor system (RDS), is a patent pending design that can universally be installed on almost any diesel application whether it be a truck, or equipment, or generator. Once a runaway condion is detected to have begun by the operator, they flip a switch mounted in the cab that will let out argonite gas into the engines intake system, thus shutting down the engine almost immediately.

How easy is the RDS to install?

The patent pending design can be installed in a matter of 2 to 3 hours by someone with just moderate mechanical experience. Just choose a mounting space for the tank (can be inside the cab, or along a frame rail, for instance), set up power directly from the battery, or from a key on/off source, and mount the switch, and run/secure the braided lines to the intake. The nozzles are to be installed through the intake pipe and thread/secure directly to the feed lines. Once installed, if it if ever used, all you would have to do is refill the tank.

Why install an RDS on my engine?

A runaway condition can happen at any time, anywhere, even to newer well maintained rigs. A seized or blown engine can cost over 40 grand to replace and could also prevent you from completing a job, or delivering a load. With the RDS, you may be ablwe to save your engine, and any fines related to fluid spills in the case of a blown block. Its easy to install and will last the life of the engine. The real question is, why NOT install one.
