I was planning on just using a simple solenoid actuated vacuum shutoff on my gas-to-diesel conversion. I would be very interested in a system where the vacuum to the shutoff would
only be provided for 3-4 seconds
after power was disconnected from the device. (I wouldn't want to be driving around with a solenoid that had to be activated to vent vacuum such that any malfunction would shutoff the engine.) So the way it would have to work for me to be interested would be for the vacuum device to have both a continuous and switched power source and a delay mechanism such that when there was an interruption in power on the switched circuit, the continuous circuit would activate a solenoid for the timed interval to perform the shutdown, and thereafter shut off the circuit so the solenoid wouldn't be active running off the battery. Is that the concept we're discussing?
