Maybe a variation of your electric fuel pump by adding a fuel cut off solenoid to the line from the tank? I think they are readily available at parts houses or from NOS Corporation. Wire it to the accessory side of the ignition switch and you would not even need a separate switch.

Most of us never think too much about "anti-theft" devices on our diesels. When I ran a souped up 3 carb v-8 I used an electric fuel pump with a hidden cutoff switch to solve the problem. So, what should a diesel head do to prevent theft? Forget the German Shepherd, sleeping in the car, and 12 gauge shotgun stuff. How about a simple tricky solution that defeats thieves.

Wouldn't be hard to steal a diesel. Just take off the vacuum line from the shutoff. Short the glow plugs short the starter & break steering lock. Having a key would make it easier. Lawrence Rhodes.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero 42B.C.
