    Some modern diesels now have a butterfly valve in intake line, this normally used for assisting with exhaust gas recirculation, but if an over rev is detected, this valve shuts completely to starve engine of air

    • @speedycpu
      @speedycpu 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      That's what I was hoping they'd start doing. Maybe compare the TPS (throttle position sensor) with the revs. If the TPS is at a low value, revs are high, close butterfly valve.

      The butterfly valve isn't for EGR recirculation. It was introduced by Cummins in the early on road days, it was actually to help with regeneration. When you cut the intake air flow off to a diesel engine it drives cylinder temps up which increases exhaust temps to help get the regeneration process started. Positive air shut offs are similar but they are just that positive air shut offs for run away, when they snap closed they allow no air through. On oil rigs the engines have both of these together.

    For anyone wondering on how to quickly stop a diesel runaway: Your best bet is to local the air intake and completely bloke it off with some type of solid surface or lots of heavy cloth in the case of a turbo. Another way to prevent your diesel from shredding itself, if you have a standard, put that baby into it's overdrive gear and dump the clutch. Better to risk your tranny then your motor and everything near it. If all else fails, you can turn off your fuel supply on some vehicles in which I would check your vehicle. As a preventative step, install a automatic / manual fuel or air supply cutoff for the fastest shutoff, which will prevent a runaway almost every time. A automatic air supply cutoff usually detects when the engine rpm becomes too high, they usually only cost $500 - 700 rather then the 3k or so for just the engine block itself let alone any other damage.

      @@caneded7320 Something that has always interested me ever since I found out about diesel engine runaways is whether you could make it happen on purpose (using a worthless old car or truck from a breakers yard) on a drag strip to make the vehicle go faster than it would ever normally be capable of: The easiest type to do this with might be a turbodiesel, since it would probably be possible to fit some kind of device to deliberately make the turbocharger start leaking oil into the intake manifold. After all, one of the most common causes of diesel runaway is this happening by accident - the turbocharger oil acting as "extra fuel" for the engine.
      Unless you had a very large and unobstructed runoff area (like if you were doing this on the Bonneville salt flats), you would need some method of reliably shutting the engine down that you could trigger from the drivers seat - such as a big flap valve fitted to the air intake, or a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher pointing at the air intake. Anyway, what I am imagining is this: Get the car moving off the line as normal and accelerate enough to get into top gear - and at that point, activate the device which makes the turbocharger oil leak, which should then trigger the diesel runaway.
      Somehow I doubt that I am the first to consider this idea, but what I don't know is whether anyone has ever tried it, or whether it would actually work - as in how much faster would it make the car or truck go?

    That poor little single cylinder generator was not a runaway. Those geniuses put gasoline in the fuel tank of a diesel engine. They could have saved that generator if they had immediately shut it down, cleaned the gasoline out the fuel system, and refilled it with diesel fuel. Instead, they just watched it burn up and stood there making remarks like: " The muffler is turning to plasma." and "It's brand new." That little generator would have been a clean, reliable, source of electricity with excellent fuel economy if those guys had just put the correct fuel in it.

      Pretty sure that's not possible. There are no spark plugs in a diesel engine, since the combustion of diesel relies on high pressure instead of a spark (the main reason that runaways occur in the first place). Gasoline needs that spark in order to ignite. So putting gasoline in a diesel engine will cause it to just.....not run at all. Even if you started the engine with diesel and then poured gasoline in, it would eventually just shut off.

      probably not. usually their pretty severely damaged. most runaways suck the oil from the crankcase and burn that and that means no lubrication. sometimes you get lucky but its not worth the risk to me. just like when an engine over heats and the block or heads can warp this can do the same thing from the heat and being well above the rpm range the engine should run at.

      If the engine is still in good condition, here's a trick to fix this. Sometimes it doesn't work, but if you have a rag and a jug of diesel fuel, dampen the rag with the fuel and put it into the air intake, it will fire right up. And before you do all that, try to fix what caused it to runaway.

      It really depends on the lifetime of the engine and the build quality. Regardless a couple of seconds higher than the rev limiter isn't going to cook the engine, but I'd say anything more than 10 seconds and it's gone. The bearings will be shot, all the fluids are cooked, the rings will be damaged and the connecting rods if they haven't broken yet are now damaged and weakened. Plus the valve train will be broken too.

    Forgive my lack of knowledge on diesel engines and thus my possibly dumb question: Can diesel engines have an emergency air flap that would seal off the intake in case of a runaway? It would have sort of a 'break glass in emergency' switch. I'm guessing that at very least, it might be unnecessary in most cases?

    Starve the cylinders for air the pressure will drop thus in turn will stop the diesel from igniting.
    Used to know an guy who had an old Ford tractor, it would always start but would never shut off.
    He would just pop the air cleaner and covered the intake pipe with his hand until the engine stopped running.😅

      Some of the old Detroit 2 cycle diesels had an emergency shutdown flapper that would cut off the air to the engine. Those usually worked pretty well. Some of the old N series Cummins engines had a compression release that would hold the intake valves open. Those would instantly kill a runaway engine. Old time diesel mechanics would sometimes have a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher ready to spray into to the air intake of a runaway engine. That also was a very effective way of starving a runaway engine for air.

  • @powerbuilder0510

    Runaway diesel happens common for one or 2 reasons
    The engine runs on its own hot black sooty blood called used engine oil from a bad turbo or bad head gasket
    If a turbo goes, the high pressure oil that lubicates the turbo bearings (and what ever sort of seal or clearence that keeps oil in there only) the bearing/seal fails oil gets pushed into the input turbine and gets atomized, sucked in and burnt
    The other possible way is an engine with overhead lubrication and the head gasket that seals the head to the block leaks oil into one or more cyclinders and starts running on engine oil

    It would be nice to have a CO2 tank to flood into the engine to quench the combustion, in addition to a sliding "gate" type intake air shutoff.
    Maybe you save the engine, maybe you don't, but you get it stopped quickly so your chances are better, and you minimize the heat build up that could cause a fire and burn the whole rig to the ground.
    Obviously, those things aren't common because this problem isn't all that common, either. But with what a good tractor costs these days, I wonder if you couldn't get a break in your insurance having systems like that installed.

    • @darrinrice367
      @darrinrice367 ปีที่แล้ว

      Because the Jake Brake releases engine compression, it should vent all the combustion gas into the exhaust, which would prevent it from adding RPM to the crank, but would spool up the Turbo, unless there's also a wastegate open to bypass it.

    Whether you understand the mechanism of a runaway diesel engine or not, there is just one rule to follow:
    "When restoring an old diesel engine, always prepare a plug with the same inside diameter as the intake pipe."
    And before you try to start it for the first time, practice jumping out of the driver's seat and quickly inserting the plug into the intake pipe.
    Make an effort to understand, as much as possible, the mechanism of a runaway diesel engine. A quick online search will surely reveal some explanation.
    Understanding the mechanism of runaway will help you understand what you must check when restoring an old diesel engine.
    These include serious oil leaks into the cylinders due to a broken head gasket, a faulty valve stem seal, abnormal wear of the valve guide, or a faulty turbocharger bearing seal. And oil spraying from the crankcase breather due to an incorrect oil level or broken piston rings.
    In short, a diesel engine will never runaway unless engine oil mist is continually sucked into the intake. Understanding these things will also help you to "properly fear" the phenomenon of diesel engine runaway.

    Most of the time a fuel shut off won't work diesel engines can run on the motor oil in the crank case. You need a air shut off to choke them off no air can't run. Thke the air canister or breather off so you can get to the intake manifold and use something that is solid enough to cut off the air, by putting it over the air intake on the manifold.

      That probably would not help. Most of the time those runaway diesels are burning the lubricating oil from the crankcase. Cutting off the fuel will not help. The most common cause of a modern diesel running away is a bad turbocharger seal leaking lube oil into the intake manifold. The old Detroit Diesel engines would often run away if the fuel racks in the injectors were stuck open. In that case, yes, cutting of the fuel would stop the engine.
