are you talking about a diesel? if so take it to a tech as putting it in upsidedown is easy to do and will ruin your engine n0rt The fuel cut off solenoid is a simple bolt on, however long slender hands and fingers are a great asset. If installed incorrectly the engine can 'run away' meaning rev uncontrollably until destruction. The stop lever will not work in this situation. I suggest you have another person start the car while you prepare to block the turbo inlet with a damp rag over a small piece of 2x4. Should the engine attempt to 'run away' you can block airflow and suffocate it to stop.

It is a difficult repair because the fuel tank must be removed unless there is an access panel above the fuel tank.
check your relay and blue wire first. there may be nothing wrong with your solenoid at all
No, it will bleed itself when it runs.
A fuel solenoid is part of the fuel tank in a Vectra B DTI vehicle. The fuel solenoid itself will be located directly inside of the fuel tank. Vectra is a car made by Opel.
It depends on which solenoid you're talking about. For the fuel pump, horn, AC... remove the cover from the fuse/relay box then the relay just pulls out and is easily replaced.
its in the tank witch has to be droped

on modern cars the fuel system is unvented. The evap purge and vent solenoid goes to a charcoal canister. When the vehicle is off the fuel tank is connected to the charcoal canister through the P/V solenoid and it absorbs the vented gas fumes from the tank. When the vehicle is on and at speed the solenoid switches and the charcoal canister is connected to engine vacuum and the vacuum of the engine purges the gas fumes in the charcoal through the engine burning them
I don't believe there is a fuel shut off solenoid. The use of a solnoid was made obsolete by the advent of fuel injection.
It shuts off the fuel supply to the carb,they are spendy to buy so i just a different bolt where the solenoid was and the problem was cured. Additional: The solenoid is an important part of the safety system. No professional will tell you to bypass it because of the liabilities. The solenoid shuts off the fuel that go through the carburetor into the engine. It will shut off when there is a safety issue. It also shuts off with the key and helps prevent the engine from backfiring which can cause damage.
IT includes the fuel tank, vapor lines, and the purge solenoid. It runs from the tank to the engine.
