Bleeding off air is automatic in some new diesels. I have a hand pump... But my instruction manual says that bleeding is required only if the engine stops because of an empty tank ("then fill up at least 5 liters and pump the air out").
I've been googling frantically and the lack of information suggests that my ultra-hi-tech 1.6HDi does not have a fuel cutoff solenoid. Instead, my guess is that in commonrails the injectors are killed, which should have the same effect. A solenoid was needed in older diesels with distributor pumps running right off the engine.
