Worse GIF ever! Doesn't even have them come close to fixing it or it blowing up first.

He’s hoping it blows up, which it didn’t.

One thing we do know is that it takes more than 4 people to fix it, but 2 people filmed it.
orangefactorfive
...and both of them filmed vertically.

Drive a screwdriver into the fuel filter and walk away. Grab a couple bags of easy-dri and head to lunch.

Its using the oil as a fuel source
UserNameWasNotTaken
I get that, and my thinking was pulling air thru the injectors instead of being able to vacuum pull the oil from the sump,= shut down.

Everone has their PPE so I'm guessing nothern Alberta.

Stuff something in the intake before it runs out of engine oil.

Can hit the air filter with a fire extinguisher, clogs the filter doesn’t hurt the engine
AnEngineerWithNoFriends
Yep.. sheet of cardboard over the intake. I've seen runaways suck entire towels inside... Need that surface area..

Looks like it's in the oil patch. Should have a positive air shut off. Flick. Done.

I’ve seen someone use a CO2 fire extinguisher to remove the oxygen, worked pretty well
AnEngineerWithNoFriends
That makes sense. Anything to remove the presence of oxygen.

Fuel was shut off. It was running on oil. We were able to kill it just after the clip ended.

Clip link? Location? Some scrap of context? Pleeeease.
ThisUserNameReallySucks
It’s my clip, taken at my job site in Northern Manitoba, Canada.
Stanistani
Thank you. Very nice.
ThisUserNameReallySucks
You’re welcome..

What, no FUEL SHUT-OFF valve????

I’m willing to bet not one of them is qualified to touch that thing.
trashyTrashpanda
It doesn’t really work like that
TraitorousTrump3
Uhh, yes it does.
SuperOKNumberTwo
Not always.

Runaway diesel is an unknown/unintentional fuel source. Just turning off the regular fuel won’t necessarily help
Surbies
It 100% does work like that.

rockinsessions
Soooo. Burning oil? What else is there? Coolant? I'd imagine its hard to leak something into the cylinders?
trashyTrashpanda
It can be damaged fuel pipes or running on oil from broken seals just a lot of times simply stopping the normal fuel source doesn’t work
wattavan
cut off the fuel....it'll stop
SuperOKNumberTwo
Unless there is an alternative fuel source- say oil leak in a turbo.
AnEngineerWithNoFriends
Not necessarily. Diesels will continue to run on their own oil under certain conditions.
AnEngineerWithNoFriends
Blocking the air intake on the other hand is how a lot of runaways are overcome..
trashyTrashpanda
Finally someone who actually knows something about diesels
