That used to be an issue on Detroit 2 strokes and there was an emergency kill knob that dropped a flapper over the air intake.
Never heard of one on a modern 4 stroke diesel. I suspect if my Cat 12L ran away it would merely self destruct and end the problem.
I sincerely doubt this is an issue that requires any expenditure of energy.
