Yes we all have a kill switch and a fuel shut off valve, some are located in different spots as drivers preference, kill switch is on the dash and close for us to reach due to our arm restraints so we can reach it and it kills the motor faster than the shut off valve!

Get well Robert I hate hearing about this whole deal especially when it's a friend!
