What colour is the smoke?

Blue / white colour.

We did replace the derv return pipes as they fell apart when we touched them so may be some air in the system? :nenau

if you did not kill it before it over revved then chances are your pistons touched a valve or two, if you need a turbo and it is a TDi then I have one, in fact a complete engine but it is suffering blow by so bock prob not good but head should be OK, but what happens when you remove the oil filler while idling, is there a lot of air/oil mist emmiting, Rick

think that was staged, true engine runaway means it revs to destruction as it will go far beyond it's safe rev limit typically they will only last tens of seconds before a con rod breaks, Rick

Sorry Clive you know what my memory is like, but also we have not written your head off yet, it only has bad glow plugs, should be able to sort them, Rick

Check out this video of deisel runway ay, gave me a really good insight to it.

The guys are taking their time (been stood for 30 years)

You can see all the technicians crap themselves, then the "old skool" tech casualty strolls over like.... What :nenau

I'd be the kid in the blue once the engine fired up :lol

Rick would be the guy strolling up to the on fire engine like "whats all the fuss about" ?

That'll be unburnt fuel, run it for a few days and report back

I like, Rick

I presume when the smoke was coming out of the exhaust when it turned black, was it at that point the engine would have been fueling itself from oil out of the sump? :nenau

Good spot and good theory, I would also like to know the answer?

Bloke I know was working in the H&W shipyard doing a refit on some sort of boats engine when it ran away, everybody scattered but the foreman, an old guy a few weeks off retirement, casually strolled up and threw his brown foreman's coat into the intake to stall the thing before it blew up.

Haha ace i can picture it too - almost like he's been put out having to stroll over to the mechanical nightmare about to explode in his face :lol

 

[R1cho]

quickest way(if you can get to it) to stop engine run away is block the air intake, luckily Mark managed to stall it,

 

[R1cho]

oh and i will add, thats the best way to check your snorkel is plumbed in properly aswell, put a bag over the head and see if it stalls :thumbs

Just dont let the bag get sucked in!
