Got to ask the dumb question. If there was a simple shut-off valve in the fuel line, wouldn't that kill it?

[@justintime5411]

​@@OhAncientOneIt's not a dumb question. Diesel engine runaway occurs when a diesel engine ingests a hydrocarbon vapor, or flammable vapor, through the air intake system and uses it as an external fuel source. As the engine begins to run off these vapors, the governor will release less diesel fuel until, eventually, the vapors become its only fuel source.

My dad taught me that trick years ago. Had a rubber backed pot lid that fit over and a co2 fire extinguisher. For when running the rack with the plumbing installed or for when the plate on the turbo fails because the seals let loose and its sucking enough air and oil through the oil pan drain to keep running.

For those wondering - this is called a runaway. Common on diesels, basically, an oil leak in the turbo on the inlet side drives oil (which becomes fuel) into the combustion chamber, rapidly increasing the chamber pressure, driving up RPM, and sucking in more air and (oil) fuel. The only way to stop it is to dump the vehicle into high gear and hope to stall, or, if you’re near the turbo inlet, starving it of airflow!

[@mariogomez5684]

For those that are wondering whats up: This is called a runaway. It is usually caused by an oil leak. Gasoline is made from oil. The oil in this case acts as extra fuel. More fuel requires more air, and it just grows in a loop infinitely (higher and higher RPMS) until you kill the fire. Best way to kill a fire is by cutting out the oxygen supply. In this case, you want to have something flat and solid (like a 2×4 piece of wood) and place it flat against the turbo opening. He was outside, so he used what was available. The turbo was sent to heaven when the cloth got all wrapped in the turbine (fins of the turbo). But the air supply was reduced. WARNING ***You DON'T want to put your hand directly flat over the turbo because you will get wrecked.***

[@channell11]

Runaways usually refer to diesel engines, as they'll burn oil nearly as easily as diesel fuel. It's not the same with gas engines, as more oil will ultimately choke the engine out, or you just cut ignition. On some diesel engines, it can also be caused by the fuel rack sticking open and ceasing to control the amount of fuel entering the engine. Without that control the engine over-revs, but you have the option of stopping it if you cut off the fuel supply.

[@swatgamer1872]

for those who dont know: the turbo is connected directly to the manifold, which makes airflow. if you block the turbo, it stops the airflow from the pistons. therefore making it hard for the pistons to move easily, or even "killswitching" the engine.

[@xm4366_]

I may not know that turbos are directly connected to the intake manifold, but i wanna know why he decided to stop it

[@WhiskeyRichard.]

@@xm4366_ *tl;dr To avoid engine damage. Excellent question.* In a runaway situation (or 'dieseling' as it's known in gasoline engines) you have an out-of-control process. That is, the engine is automatically sucking fuel in and auto-igniting it, causing the reaction to repeat with increasing speed. The reaction that drives it uses a fuel (diesel here) and air to produce combustion. The compression in the cylinder (along with its ambient temperature) is enough to ignite the fuel/air (aerosol) mix without any external support. Thus, you have a choice: cut the air, or cut the fuel. The mechanic chose air, most readily available/reasonable thing to cut, whether practically and/or because it was the first thought they had. The quickest way to do that was to jam the turbo blades. The mechanic did this _by hand,_ cool as a cucumber. It was quick thinking. I can't see clearly what they used, but it at least (partially) seems to be some emory cloth, or, perhaps, just a rag. They jammed the exhaust port (likely why they struggled to feed it in), which stalls the turbo: if they had jammed the intake, it may have sucked material and debris into the engine. Good choices all around, definitely saved the engine, even though the turbo is likely extremely damaged ($ vs $$$). The whole time, bear in mind they had red hot diesel exhaust being absolutely blasted in their face. EDIT: Diesel engines do not use any form of electronic ignition (eg, spark plugs). They often contain _glowplugs_ which are used to heat the engine block for easy starting, because it is very difficult to start cold - and hard on the engine. Thus, pulling electrical has no effect (even normally, the battery is usually just for starting). Once an engine is running, glowplugs serve no purpose. EDIT 2, CETANE BOOGALOO: Some astute below have noted that in rare conditions, defects and vacuum could potentially suck in lubricant and the engine can instead burn that for fuel, so cutting the fuel line or the electrical for the fuel pump (if it is an electrical pump) may work, but is not sure-fire. Thus, cutting air is the best choice. I know it may sound rare, and that's exactly why best practices exist - because worst cases do, too. Diesels - both engines and turbines - are very robust animals. Even if it was gasoline, pulling the electrical would not work, because again, it does not need the spark plugs to ignite (auto-ignition is occurring). If the fuel mix begins to detonate (explode) instead of deflagrate (burn), things get much worse much faster. This is why putting diesel in a gas engine is bad: but putting gas in a diesel engine is _dangerous._ Spouts at filling stations are different diameters for this reason. Because it is a diesel, it naturally operates at much higher temperatures (~2x) and compression (~5x) than a gasoline engine. People mention things like the pistons flying out: diesel heads are usually overbuilt to compensate for the massive compression, but (as for people, too) even a cracked head is catastrophic (and $$$). In any case (diesel, gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil, JP8, whathaveyou), the result of not arresting such a runaway is engine damage, namely because the engine is operating at speeds it is not designed for. Finally, if you made it this far... this dude must be the _Judas Priest_ of diesel mechanics, because they are a _Turbo Lover._ Better run for cover. For the younger audience, 🐐🧑‍🔧 PS> I appreciate all the thanks, and please remember, everything I described here, this mechanic put into practice in about 3.2 seconds _flat._ I've also used the pronoun _they_ here - I don't actually know what the mechanic prefers, and the trait that matters here is, _mechanic._

@@WhiskeyRichard. I’m not gonna try to sound all smart but I think you meant diesel doesn’t need spark, that’s why you can’t kill the motor in these runaway diesel situations because it will continue to “run away” also it’s not just gas, if the turbo seals leak enough oil into the intake it will use the oil as fuel, if I’m not mistaken.

[@WhiskeyRichard.]

@@Payote88 Sorry - I didn't mean to be ambiguous. As you have pointed out, diesel _never_ needs sparks because it doesn't have sparks, it always works through compression and heat alone. I have updated my response to reflect this, thank you. I have no ability to speak on burning oil as fuel - possible, likely to rob a lot of power, and foul it up REAL fast though.

[@Bomkz]

@@TheDarjonmaxwell imagine a person at the bar, the bartender (the thing that gives the cylinder diesel) tells him he can't have any more drinks (diesel in this case), then at some point someone, not the bartender, slides him a free drink (more fuel that he shouldn't be having, be it diesel, oil, or whatever else), so the person gets more drunk than he should, runaway diesel engines get more fuel supplied than they should have, be it because of oil leaking into the cylinder or other means.

[@SI0AX]

@@TheDarjonmaxwell For starters, there is no throttle plate like in a normal gasoline car. In a gasoline car, the accelerator foot pedal controls how much the throttle plate will open to allow air in. When your foot if off the gas pedal, the throttle plate is nearly closed and very little air can enter the engine. Turn the car off with the key, and the fuel injectors stop injecting fuel and spark plugs stop sparking the fuel to ignite the mixture so the engine stops running. For a fire to form inside a gasoline engine, you need air + fuel + spark to ignite the air and fuel. If you lack one of those 3 things, the engine will stop running. Diesel engines do not have throttle plates nor do they have spark plugs that ignite fuel to keep the engine running. The fuel is ignited from just the piston compressing the air and fuel mixture creating so much heat that it burns from just heat alone without a spark producing device(unlike gasoline engines). The accelerator pedal in a diesel engine just makes the injectors inject more fuel which in turn creates more combustion gasses and thus makes the turbo spool faster and suck in more air(turbos are powered from exhaust gasses). Another thing is that you can cut out the fuel, like fuel injectors not injecting when you turn the car off with the key, but the diesel engine can actually run off it's own oil due to leaks that make oil leak into the combustion chamber keeping the engine alive and it will begin sucking up the oil in the oil pan and until the oil is all drained and the engine seizes due to lack of lubrication to metal parts cased by lack of oil(oil is not meant to be burned to keep the engine running, just lubricate the parts ) Edit: Forgot to add that air is required for fire and thus required for an engine to run.

​@@bigtonsilhuman7017well if your being serious. A runaway engine is when a engine is at max rpm and you cannot lower it. It eventually turns so fast that the whole engine blows. Easiest way to cut the engine off for most any engines is to cut your air supply off such as seen above. If that doesnt work or your unable to do such. If a diesel then find a way to deny fuel to the engine, best way is to take a wrench if u have one and take your main supply off to the injection pump. On a gas you can take fuel from it or figure a way to keep it from getting spark

[@josephbryant1539]

😂😂😂

[@andrasferenczi5612]

​@@bigtonsilhuman7017it usually happens when the turbo's oil seal gets fucked over and as the turbo picks up the oil it gets yeeted through the intake into the combustion chamber. It can happen when ur just cruising on the motorway or just driving around. And as we know diesel engines have no problem running on oil, so it creates and endless cycle of combustion until all the oil runs out. If the engine doesnt die from max rpm (unlikely) it will die from lack of lubrication as the oil goes away. Only thing you can do if it happens to you randomly just push it into 5th or 4th gear and it will stop. At the cost of the transmission.
