The injection pump has a governor in it, as the governed speed is reached, it starts restricting/defueling. There's no throttle valve on a diesel, so speed is controlled by fuel delivery. A gas engine would either limit speed through ignition, fuel delivery, or reach a mechanical limit where valve float happens. Valve float in a diesel = game over.
