All modern diesels have an electric shut-off solenoid at the injection pump. I was going to retrofit mine with a Cummins fuel shut-off solenoid but used the manual valve instead as there where clearance problems with the solenoid. You can pick-up these solenoids new for about $35.00 . I bought 2 for $50.00 .This was a better Idea if you worry and controlled from the cab. Thanks Orren.
Another good Idea is leave the engine kill pulled out and locked after shut down. If the fuel control does bind up it is bound in the no fuel position. This should be SOP. Maybe checking the fuel control ( removing the shut down cover) should be a thing done every so often.
Also need to bypass your FDC as this two is SOP. No reason to have it only problems if it is left in the system.
