diesel FAS kill switch

short story : it works and here is a little video taken during a static test : mov00011.mp4(*)

You can see :
  • the RPM on the right,
  • the heat plugs light at the upper right,
  • the airbag light at the upper left,
  • the low fuel light at the lower left.

Time line :
  • 00:03 : the engine starts
  • 00:07 : the kill switch kills the engine
  • 00:10 : the kill switch is put back on

I let you imagine how I did that. I should be able to take pictures tomorrow

Have fun,

Denis.

(*) on the video the trip odo is at 1696.9km (1054.6mi). Now the trip odo is at 1763.3km (1095.7mi, which is my longest tank ) and the FAS kill switch works very well
