Just my two cents .
Never thought about this before. Makes me want to reinstall the solenoid in my truck. I currently operate the fuel shut off of the throttle cable in the dash board. I always leave it pulled out (OFF for a VE pump) when I'm not driving it but there is a risk involved. My Cummins will crank in what seems like a millisecond. I will start putting both sticks in neutral when I work on it.
