I have this nagging fear....
Typically I'll have more than one machine/vehicle in the field. And I'll being idling one to either warm up, or cool down, a few minutes, while I'm starting or stopping the other one, before I leave. My fear is that someday I'll be distracted and leave something running. There could potentially be enough fuel in something to keep it idling for days! I suppose it depends on the engine, and/or situation, but what's the likely outcome? Certain destruction? An engine so coked/choked up it needs to be dismantled? Nothing bad- engine just runs until out of fuel?
