[MV] Diesel "RUNAWAY"

Would a 1/4 turn shutoff valve, in series with the fuel inlet to the
injection pump afford any runaway protection? As close as possible
to the pump.

Would there still be to much fuel in the pump before the engine
destroys itself? Pump would be sucking a vacuum at this point.

Assume here that there is a cable attached to this valve that
you can get at on the dash when this happens.
