This is where it is on my 300D. Sometimes the paper tag is gone or unreadable.
Other methods to stop a runaway involve as the other member said is blocking the air inlet, using s CO2 fire extinguisher (not the dry powdered ones) directed into the intake to deny oxygen to the Engine, and clamping or cutting the Fuel supply Lines (this can still leave enough fuel in the system to let the Engine run a bit).
Blocking off the air is fast and the surest method. However, it has to be planned (you need to disconnect the cold air duct/tub) for unless it is an Engine like a Detroit Diesle that has an emergency shutoff or an Engine that has a compression release.
An unplanned for runaway can be delt with by yanking/cutting off the rubber supply hose but the Engine still has a filter full of fuel to run through.
Both of the above are easier if the Hood is already open.
