Broke down and stranded

My new to me vw pathfinder had a fuel solenoid detonate. Fails closed I guess lol. Ggot lucky enough to get towed in within minutes. Now stranded on a dock with 100nm left to get home.

Can I pull the guts on the solenoid and run to the next port that has some marine services? Will killing the engine with fuel shut off damage anything?

Thanks!!

The fuel solenoid is a convenience. No issues at all to bypass it.
