Not trying to go for the comparison either here, but have you ever seen a diesel engine fail and go into runaway? It's pretty impressive if nothing else! https

- jacquesm 4y agoWhen that happens more often than not the turbo seal is gone and the engine is running on its own oil rather than on the fuel it is supposed to be running on. When the engine oil runs out it will stop all by itself... Usually these are either scrap or ready for a complete rebuild (if you're lucky).
- King-Aaron 4y agoYep that's right. I've seen some pretty spectacular runaways with our big trucks on site, usually you just get on the phone to CAT and order a new engine lol
