Forgot to add to my first post, how to keep the backfeed through the charge light from keeping the fuel solenoid energized? I had somthing similar with a combine that I repowered with a 292 propane fueled chevy. I used an accessory relay to power the 292's HEI ignition directly from the battery. Problem was that the small resistor the combine had in the exciter wire to the 10SI Delco alternator would backfeed enough power through that little resistor to keep the accessory relay energized and ignition powered up. This was only a problem if I had no accessory load turned on. I quickly learned to keep the cab blower turned on when I wanted to shut the combine engine off. The added load of the cab blower pulled the alternator backfeed voltage through the exciter resistor,low enough so the accessory relay would open,and the engine shut down.
