Bypass fuel shut of solenoid in a diesel?

[McFizzl]

It this a bad idea or will it work? Its not for my truck. Basically I know nothing about diesel engines but my dad more or less said if I can my the cummins run I have a second truck. My question is in a diesel engine of any kind can you bypass the fuel shut off solenoid?

NO! it is what is used to shut off the engine. or did the name of component not give you that clue.

its a $50 part...so that kinda sucks.

it is also kinda required. dont screw around with trying to bypass or jury rig everything you think can save a couple of bucks. You are gonna end up causing damage to machinery or yourself and others one day.
