And, that's why we don't put burritos in the fuel tank.

stack fire. You can get the same thing in a truck stack if there's too much oil blowing past the rings.

[shininghappyperson7]

what the heck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[csxrrsux]

Why is the headlight not burning? Ive ran a bunch of these with CSX and most of the time its the governor that over fuels the engine.

[Rtchugg]

I'd stop in the next yard

[Conraildan]

He is in violation for not having his headlight on, dumbass engineer.

Anybody here know what those periodic flames mean during the early part of the video?  (Kind of scary.)

[alco251]

There can be many causes. Turbocharger failure, poor injectors. All this is raw fuel that has not completly burnt in the cylinders, then will be sent into the exhaust at a very high temp and when it exits the stack, fresh air with oxygen in it will cause the fuel to ingite. It is quite the the event to see! Almost like a top-fuel dragster!

[Alcochaser]

These GE junkers do that if they get out of adjustment. It's unburned fuel igniting in the hot exhaust. A slow to catch up turbo is the likely cause.

[sawman090]

@author To me it looks like changing loads on the prime mover caused by Dash 7 traction control electronics. When the load is applyed the engine is rich caused by excessive turbo lag (GE uses large turbine housings that give poor spoolup) The unburnt fuel is highly atomized and pressureized out a hot exhaust tunnel were spontanious combustion happens, POOF FIRE!!!

[sawman090]

@sawman090 oops my bad, the two front units are dash 8's

[KlickThisdotcom]

OMG look at the flames! I have never seen that before. What a great catch with the camera.
