RE: 16V Rev Limiter

["Antaki" <wrack@home.com>]

Please keep in mind a very important safety feature controled via the FPR -
fuel cutof in case of an accident, presumably in which the engine has
stopped. If the engine is still running, this implies there is no fuel leak.

You would not want a fire to be fed his way, melting your baby down to a
puddle of poop, now would ya?
