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.

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?

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.

High gear, clutch dump. Done.

@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?

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

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

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!

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