How much pressure is in those lines when the motor is running?

Even at Full Throttle there is not that much Fuel Volume. So there is not going to be a big puddle of fuel.
Also if you manage to loosen all of the Hard Line Nuts it will stop quickly.
The problem is it takes some courage to remain calm an loosen all of the Hard Line nuts while the Engine is screaming.
And, when they throw a Rod it comes out/through the side of the Engine Block.
Also in the case of a Runaway caused by a Fuel Injection Pump Jammed at full Throttle before you can say Oh Shi* the Engine has maxed. If the IP Governor is working and set correctly It sould not go above a certain RPM.
In the 78, 300SD book that RPM is 5100.
Note the standing there with a 17mm wrench or being ready to block off the airway requires that you plan ahead.
