Abstract
Described is an assembly that is interposed between the main fuel supply and the fuel injection system of a fuel-injected gasoline engine or diesel engine. When the main supply of fuel becomes exhausted, the assembly (i) automatically shuts off the flow of fuel to the fuel injection system, (ii) causes the engine to cease operating through fuel starvation, and (iii) prevents air from entering the fuel injection system. The assembly forms and utilizes a reserve supply of fuel and utilizes the vacuum created by the fuel-starved engine in such a way as to insure that no air becomes entrained in the fuel injection system when operation of the engine is resumed with a replenished fuel supply.
