ENGINE RUNAWAY

Diesel engine runaway is a rare condition affecting diesel

engines, where the engine consumes its own lubrication

oil and runs at higher and higher RPM until it overspeeds

to a point where it destroys itself due to either mechani-

cal failure or engine seizure through lack of lubrication.

WARNING!

In case of engine runaway due to flammable fumes
from fuel spills or turbocharger oil leaks being
sucked into the engine, do the following to help
avoid personal injury and/or vehicle damage:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Using a CO2 or dry chemical type fire extinguisher,
direct the spray from the fire extinguisher into the
grille on the passenger side so that the spray enters
the engine air intake.
The inlet for the engine air intake is located behind
the passenger side headlamp and receives air
through the grille.
