The engine should stop in 5-15 seconds- UNLESS there's a leak and 
pressure in the sump and valve cover area can escape. That pressurizes 
the shutoff diaphragm on the other side from where vacuum is applied to 
shut it off. That shuts off the engine.

The pressure buildup puts pressure on the fuel shutoff valve on the 
injection pump via the oiling system to/from the injection pump.
