How are you getting it to stop? Does it shut off if you disconnect the battery?

That's really weird. Sounds like it might be running hot so the fuel continues to compression-ignite. I suspect that it would eventually stop on its own when the fuel pressure drops low enough.

try replacing the stop solenoid valve on the injection pump, when the solenoid gets old fuel will still bypass when its off.
