Most large truck stops in CA have parking stations w/ AC ducts and power so the drivers don't need to idle the engine while sleeping. The state promotes that to lower pollution, though I think the cost savings in fuel and less wear makes it economical regardless. I recall talk of laws to prevent "idling while napping", but not sure of the status. In northern Alaska, I think they keep diesels running all winter since otherwise they won't restart until Spring. As an easier interim shutoff, you could hook a hand vacuum pump to the hose going to your stop valve. A few pumps should stop it, then release the vacuum.
