Hey all you gear heads out there, a question. Will I cause myself trouble if I were to install a normally open solenoid valve in the low pressure fuel line on my engine. The engine is an old model Volvo 6 cyl. diesel that has a mechanical cable from the injector pump to the helm for shut off. It is not practical to extend this to the upper helm but I would really like to have a shut down control there as well. Thinking of installing a 1/2 inch solenoid valve at the input to the low pressure fuel pump that when energized would cut the fuel supply and stop the engine.
Anyone see a problem with this idea?
