Hory chit.. just learnt that Diesel engines don’t have spark plugs!

Mind shattered. The piston simply compresses the oxygen until it heats up enough to ignite it. I consider this thread worthy.

Very rare anymore. Glow plugs were just to "preheat" the cylinder for starting purposes.

False OP. I have a whole stack of diesel spark plugs stored next to my brass magnets and turn signal fluid.

I had a two stroke GAS boat engine overheat to the point it did the diesel runaway thing.


Me sitting in the middle of the lake with an outboard screaming away with the cowl off and both plug boots off the plugs.

Disconnect the fuel line and wait...it seized first. Cooled it off, broke it free with the flywheel and ran it home cooling it by dumping lake water over it. lol

Another fun fact:

Diesels always run wide open.. or actually have no throttle at all.

Yes, HD pick ups use either glow plugs or a grid heater type system. I would assume even smaller diesel engines for a passenger car would have some type of system also.

I run a couple of Peterbilts so yeah I get what you’re saying. It’s not common for the misc to ever say anything about big rigs so I just assume you meant cars.

Not bad brad. If you are ever in this situation again, always go for blocking the intake. Fuel starving will eventually work on a gasoline engine, but as you noticed, it can take awhile. In a diesel, the compression is high enough that it can run on engine oil. So if you have an old engine with bad rings, or more likely, you blow a turbo, it will keep running on oil even if you cut off the fuel completely. Only sure fire way to kill a runaway engine is to remove it's ability to breathe.

I have an old diesel Mercedes that has glow plugs. OM603 Turbo Diesel, laggy but fun as hell when it's in boost
