Diesel exhaust is the exhaust gas produced by a diesel engine, plus any contained particulates. Its composition may vary with the fuel type, rate of consumption or speed of engine operation (e.g., idling or at speed or under load), and whether the engine is in an on-road vehicle, farm vehicle, locomotive, marine vessel, or stationary generator ...
The pilots did not know the source of the problem, but heard a pounding noise, accompanied by severe vibrations. Smoke poured into the cabin through the ventilation system, and passengers became aware of the smell of burning. [6] Several passengers sitting near the rear of the plane noticed smoke and sparks coming from the left engine. [7]

Dry sump engines in some drag racing cars use scavenging pumps to extract oil and gases from the crankcase. [18] A separator removes the oil, then the gases are fed into the exhaust system via a venturi tube. [citation needed]. This system maintains a small amount of vacuum in the crankcase and minimises the amount of oil in the engine that ...
Exhaust system backfires occur in engines that have an emission system malfunction, like an air injection system diverter valve problem, an exhaust leak, or when the catalytic converter has been removed. In some high-performance vehicles, when a driver shifts up and lets off the accelerator, the engine has a moment of running rich. This causes ...
Flight 6, a Douglas DC-2-112 (NC13722), force-landed 48 km (30 mi) east of Albuquerque, New Mexico following double engine failure; all 11 on board survived. After climbout, the pilot switched from the reserve tank of 87 octane fuel to the left main tank filled with 80 octane fuel. Both engines quit shortly after this was done.
Wet stacking is a condition in diesel engines in which unburned fuel passes on into the exhaust system. [1] The word "stacking" comes from the term "stack" for exhaust pipe or chimney stack. The oily exhaust pipe is therefore a "wet stack". This condition can have several causes.
This category lists multi-engine passenger airline accidents involving loss of all engines in flight and subsequent gliding flight. Causes of these rare situations have included fuel exhaustion or starvation, multiple bird strikes, volcanic ash, extreme weather and hijacking.
