Run Away

[Loco_Hosa]

Come on, you had the thought of "Lets share this on SS!" but not "Hmm, I need a camcorder, NOW"


That would have been a great video

If t's a joke, so be it. If it's not a joke, it's a teachable moment. Don't clamp your mushroom in place and do have a chunk of wood to termnate the engines msbehavior. Now, about those pics!

Pics or it didn't happen. If it did happen, sorry for giving you a hard time.

Would a run-away engine ever survive for 12 minutes? That is how long between his posts.

It's like having the house on fire and calling friends to ask what to do. CALL 911

If he doesn't own a fire extinguisher then he is a fool! I have at least 10 of various sizes in my house, out buildings and the vehicles.

Could it be that this alleged April Fools Joke threw a rod through its block and peed oil all over the floor, thus insuring a complete meltdown of any anticipated "humor output" by its OP?

Could it be that this was an actual crisis and the OP suffered the "deer in the headlights" syndrone?

We'll await any updates which include photos and/or video evidence of any real or contrived cat's-ass-trophy.

fire extigusher in the intake. thats what we do at my diesel school

Do you mean spray it or just chuck the whole thing in there?

I can see it now after reading this, """I tried stuffing the extinguisher in the air intake but she still blew...

 

[silverstate55]

And I thought we were going to get to see a Monty Python clip featuring an "Easter Bunny" of sorts.... RUN AWAY!!!

What ever you think would work best. If it was me i would spray it

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

CHUCK or SPRAY.... Either way, the title of this thread should be revised from RUN AWAY to RUN AMUCK.

IMHO/LOL

Would you be able to cut the fuel line and the 24 volt line to stop the fuel pump
better to buy a new hose than a engine.
Willy
p/s is there a other fuel pump I was thinking off a run away truck how to stop that.

 

[big hoss]

Cutting a fuel line probley wouldnt work. Most run aways are from another fuel source. When you pull the throttle stop or turn the key off on any other diesel it shuts off fuel going into the IP so if that dosent work its probley running off the engine oil most likely caused by a bad turbo.

 

[doghead]

I have some good take-out engines, PM me for details.

 

[dozer1]

IT BLEW!!! Oh no, it violently blew. knocking loud and running at high rpm, something big let loose. Lots of smoke and oil everywhere. Nose about cut off. ****.

Nose about cut off???????? what? anyway if this really happened, wow.
Sorry that it did. You will have your work cut out for you. I agree with this being a thread to learn from and to have a foolproof means to kill that engine handy at all times.

Well, between the first 2 posts it was still running and it was 12 minutes. I know if I had a runaway (had 2) I wouldn't be posting in between. Maybe you need to rethink owning a deuce?

 

[dozer1]

I would like to add to my post #34 that I hope the OP IS OK. I am a little worried about not getting that final update. Aftermath pics, ect....

 

[hoop]

Just covering the intake (with my dented mushroom)will not stall my Deuce....there is a 1" hole in the back of the filter can that needs to be plugged also. Even with that plugged it just slows it down. But it buys me time. I have run the drill on mine.

 

[plym49]

It started out surging between 1000 and 1500 and then it got worse 1500 to 2000. Little by little going higher. Burnt the clutch - that was a no-go. Anyway she got real bad and then the end came violently. Came to the forum for help, was not thinking much about videography at the moment.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Sorry to have inserted some "humor" during the communication "black out" period.

Our condolences for your "destructed-Multi-Fuel Engine".

Please keep us posted on any forensic analysis regarding this major malfunction.

John
PS: I have a spare engine-in-a-can (rebuild date 1989) sitting in my M105 Trailer, but it's about 2000 +/- miles from your location.

 

[Heavysteven]

I think the best would have been to unplug the fuel pump and then take off the discharge line. That way you have got some cover behind the cab.

Sorry for your loss.

Make you think how fast could you kill a deuce. Only two options fuel or air.
