A diesel only requires two things to run, fuel and air, so there are only two ways to shut a diesel off, cut the fuel (as Cummins does) or cut off the air.
In the old Detroits they would sometimes keep running even with the fuel shut off by pulling crankcase oil up. The only way to shut them down was to throw something over the intake and choke off the air.
