You need to cut off the electricity. You can reach the cord and outlet safely, unplug it. In an area around  oil well or somewhere else with flammable gasses or hydrocarbon vapor in the air, you may have to cut the air to the engine. A diesel will run with no normally supplied fuel or spark if there is enough fuel in the air.

A Diesel will run with no normally supplied fuel or spark if there is enough fuel in the air. The valve to cut air to a Diesel is called a Chalwyn valve. These valves are required on all Diesels that may be operated near flammable gasses and vapors.

As part of a fire sprinkler system, a fire pump receives water from either an underground water supply or a water tank, lake, or reservoir, and is powered by electricity or diesel fuel. The high-pressure supplied by the pump distributes water through the sprinkler system and hose standpipes.

The valve to cut air to a Diesel is called a Chalwyn valve. These valves are required on all Diesels that may be operated near flammable gasses and vapors. If the engine is not stopped in this way, the Diesel may run away and this may serve as a source of ignition to the fuel in the air.

A fire diesel pump may not stop due to a malfunctioning pressure switch, a stuck check valve, or a broken wiring connection, among other issues.

The cause of fire diesel pumps to not stop may vary depending on the specific pump. Some potential causes may include being keeping the pump running too much or too slow,Not properly gearizing the pump, or not properly fluidizing the pump.
