Caterpuller destroing turbocharger in Etne

[NJPurling]

I heard a mention about firing a CO2 fire extinguisher down the air intake to quell this sort of event. If it works I suppose there is no air, or not enough air to support combustion.

ктож с четвёртой трогается =((

[TitoTyfus]

High gear, clutch dump. Done.

[Aspro4]

The runaway diesel is like a muscle cramp - it keeps on going until it gets exhausted.

[Spixe]

@Aspro4 How about doing as wonka109 said? Put it in gear and let go of the clutch. Maybe a little rough to get it to shut off?

[roadwolf2]

The real only way you can stop them when they are running on the engine oil is to let em self destruct as it is hard to choke em cause once they start clanging like that they coils suck air through the exhaust

[kanet0909]

Sounds like a Banshee O_O

[robertosom01]

dder motor hat es geschafft und nach befreirung geschrien

[jfreake13]

now i knows why there was a diesel truck going down the road the other day with smoke coming out of it like that

[Bamchucknorris]

aww man look at all that oil spewing 

[A4moondoggy]

yeah you might wanna turn it off before it breaks even more

[Moryszon]

lol, clean energy :D:D:D:

[MrRobMetal]

whahahahaha there goes the compression u fkin mechanics of nothing

[DrattedOwnz]

Man, shoulda popped that clutch and killed her...

[alphawinger]

[teamfab]

Why didnt you just keep her lit man??

[Eheld786]

[91cummins322hp]

ouch oil draind did you get to come back to life after ?



[rastclart]

The sounds of an engine killing itself. Horrible, just horrible.

[torque395]

Was the engine destroyed too or just the turbo? It sure didnt sound good.

[Havar15]

Haha. Han suger. ville ha kvelt motoren jeg, med å sette den i gir, bremse, og clutche ut

[TheUndercovernoob]

stupid fuckers

[Mirek19561020]

Masakra.

[AnthonyM910]

all you had to do was suffocate it. clog up the intake and it woulda been saved.

[on30sg]

Niesmowita maszyna. Slychac jak stal trze o stal a silnik ciągle sie kręci!

[hvguy]

damn, runaway engine =( we had this happen recently with a 6.6 duramax.. guy blew the turbo at our shop doing a burnout with a smartie on the ecu... he cut it off and it kept going... very sad.

[asharp502]

turbo blew cause to burn oil

[painfull94]

i do not get what happened

[mysticalmagick]

the turbo blew

[FORDGTFANATIC]

i agree stick something strong and BIG on the intake

[DieselMechanic09]

That's a tough situation there boys ;( When she starts running on er own engine oil best thing to do is undo the main fuel line to the injector pump and find a way to keep er from getting air. If that doesn't work, let er go!!

[Lasselkv28]

No cooling water there, only running on engine oil through the destroyed Turbo.

Often seen

[DodgeRamit02]

they could have been smart and sprayed some c02 at the air intake and stopped the engine from gettin oxygen but no they decided to kill the old cat.........Bastards!!!

[wonka109]

Could you not put it in gear and stall it rather than waiting for it to run out of oil, or is it auto trans?

[im1469]

What happened there is what is known as a runaway diesel. When the turbocharger disintegrated the bearing seals were destroyed, pouring engine oil into the intake. As we all know, diesel engines run on oil, and the engine took off running on the engine oil uncontrollably. The white smoke isn't coolant, it is in fact burning engine oil.

[cdtdeere4650]

Now is this the Caterpuller that was destroyed in a wreck?

ANyone know of where to go to get more pics?

[ESPsplit]

painfull dieing...

[gergely007]

This is not only the turbo, U see the white fog from exhaust: this is a collant water, cause the whole cylinderhead blown off! Kaputt, RIP.

[PumbaRuben]

Det er en fin evighetsmaskin det der hehe.

[blky2k2z]

That is why we run guilitine air shut offs. On a detroit though, when you hit the air shut off it can sometimes suck the blower seals inside out let air in through there.

[fiik420]

you gotta love when they run off there own oil we had it happen with one of our tractors on the farm

[sledheadbill]

Good thing the wind wasnt blowing the opposite way, I doubt the crowd would have liked that very much. lol

[MA70with2JZGTE]

outch

couldn´t they kill the engine by putting a gear in and release the clutch??

[drunkondiesel]

sure seems like it... it wasn't turning any real RPM

[cumminsdiesel1234567]

Was it running on oil only, and couldn't be shut off?

[volvopuller]

Yes, it was running on oil only!

The engine was running for almost 5 minutes, and they could not kill it. The whisteling sound you hear is when they put a glove into the intake of the turbo to stop the airsupply, but it was`t enogh. It was a mess with oil everywhere.

After this, we mounted a shutoff valve on the lubrication sypply to the turbocharger on our own tractorpuller!

[international1256]

@volvopuller what u mean it was just runnin on oil done know much about super stock but farm myself

[Newtsed]

@volvopuller i had that thing too...4 months ago....with my tdi ajm vw engine

[mxdavid]

dr va eg (h)

[Modlendingen]

OK, eg skjønnar, mykje å fiksa opp att for han då eller???

[Modlendingen]

Kefør stoppa han ikkje motoren med ein gong??? Havarera Turboen rett so fyke dele inn i motoren...

[volvopuller]

Han prøver å stoppe motoren, men motoren sviver fortsatt på motorolje som kommer fra den havarerte turboen og inn i innsuget....

[budde922]

ooh shit...
