Ditto. 

Had a broken spring in the injector of my Kubota, engine ran up to 3 grand,
even shutting the ignition wouldn't stop it. (This also de-activates the
fuel supply solenoid, no manual shutoff)  Thank god the governor worked. I
ended up ripping off the fuel hose as I apparently couldn't think quickly
enough to plug the intake.  Then my buddy, who teaches solid model printing
, 'Printed' me a little plastic paddle, complete with instructions to place
over intake of engine to shut off engine.  So, now it hangs in my engine
compartment next to the intake!

The trouble with various sprays is that they may or may not work, or may
damage the engine. My suggestion is to cut off the air flow at the intake.
When my engine Yanmar  4JH "ran away" (injection pump problem) I used a
nearby small plastic container to block the air intake. Engine slowed
immediately and stopped.

Can't think of anything that is readily available now that wouldn't also
hurt your engine.

A long time ago, someone suggested keeping a spray can of something to stop
a diesel.  What was that?

WD40 is very cagey about revealing that key ingredient. They will 
enthusiastically tell you what it isn't. It isn't Kerosene or fish oil.  
Lately they also swear it is not Stoddard solvent, but that really is 
splitting less than a hair. It is so close to Stoddard solvent in makeup 
that it is functionally the same thing. Stoddard Solvent is a bit more 
refined than kerosene, but for starting a balky diesel, it is close 
enough to water-white kerosene to work for that purpose. I think it has 
a lower flash point than Stoddard solvent, which is an asset for this 
purpose. The term Stoddard Solvent covers a range of petroleum 
distillates. If someone calls the main ingredient of WD-40 "Stoddard 
Solvent", I don't think you can call them wrong, regardless of marketing 
department claims to the contrary.
