Should no be a problem, at least on the IDIs. The fuel cutoff solenoid is really mis-named, when off it just bleeds the fuel
off the pump and returns it to the tank, Since the pressure inside the pump can't get high enough to break open the injectors,
the fuel seems to be cut off, at least as far as the injectors see it.

Hagar likes to comment Roger . -------- First the proper Robert Bosch designation
is " Engine - shutoff " in this case a (ELAB) electrical shut down valve..
The solenoid only covers the inlet port to the highpressure piston. It does not bleed anything
anywhere.
The rest of the fuel system is still operational --as long as pump turns. Internal pressure is there
and orifice works as usual. That protects pump in a situation where you take it down a long
hill ---like Jackass Mountain.BC. -----Cooling of pump and lubrication of pump is
maintained. ----Some pumps self destruct if out of fuel. ---NOT VE on Rabbits.
It protects the pumps in the american domains-------towing around and around the block.

PS : remember ? limping home tales ? just remove little plunger from valve and
engine will run without electricity. (1977 to 1984 ) Rabbits.
