Engine fuel stop power

Engine fuel stop power

Engine fuel stop power

(OP)
What is engine "fuel stop power"? Can it have overload capability?

RE: Engine fuel stop power

As an educated guess I would say it is when the throttle is at maximum opening, i.e. against the stop. It would therefore not have any overload capability because it can not open beyond the mechanical stop. A bit more context would help.

RE: Engine fuel stop power

it's a diesel thing, term comes from mechanical rack w/physical stop, and yes the fuel stop is commonly higher than the engine advertised rating.  This is a requirement in some marine applications, I believe (10% overload for 1 hour in 12 hours, in case of emergency).
 

RE: Engine fuel stop power

I would also note that electronic engines also have "fuel stop" power settings, but they're in software vs. being a physical screw.
