Diesel Shutdown Valves

Nearly three decades ago, BCE Precision Limited designed and manufactured one of New Zealand’s most highly regarded diesel shutdown valves, specifically engineered for plant machinery and vehicles.

Originally developed for vehicles visiting Refining New Zealand at Marsden Point and the Motonui Plant in Palmerston North, this shutdown valve is now fitted to over 1,500 vehicles across the country.

The Solution That Became a Standard

Recognising a critical need, Brian Craig and his team engineered a valve that would effectively shut down the supply of gas or fuel to the engine, along with its fumes—thereby ensuring full control over the engine while eliminating fire risks.

In simple terms, the valve chokes the motor and shuts it down quickly and efficiently.

Key Features

  • Customised for various vehicle types and plant machinery

  • Several sizes available, each with unique characteristics to suit specific needs

  • Proven reliability and performance across a wide range of applications

The valve’s simplicity of use combined with its precision in design has made it a highly sought-after piece of equipment, and it remains proudly Northland-made and distributed nationwide.
