Diesel engine runaway is an occurrence in diesel engines, in which the engine draws extra fuel from an unintended source and overspeeds at higher and higher RPM, producing up to ten times the engine's rated output until destroyed by mechanical failure or bearing seizure due to a lack of lubrication.

Oils are "blown" through partial oxidation of the oil at elevated temperatures. A typical blowing process involves heating the oil to 70 to 120 °C (158 to 248 °F) and passing air through the liquid. [1] The modification causes the formation of C-O-C and C-C cross links, and hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups. [1]
In 2012, SAME Deutz-Fahr sold 22 million shares, the majority of its holding in Deutz AG, to Volvo, making of it the largest shareholder at just over 25%. SAME Deutz-Fahr retained 8.4% equity in the company. [14] In 2017, Deutz acquired Torqeedo [15] GmbH, specialist for integrated electric and hybrid drives for boats. Volvo sold all of its ...
Maschinenfabrik Fahr (Fahr Machine Factory) was established by Johann Georg Fahr in Gottmadingen in 1870. One of its most important products was the self-binder, manufactured in 1911, while the first tractor, the Fahr F22, was built in 1938 from an idea of Wilfred Fahr and Bernhard Flerlage, and had a 22 hp (16 kW) Deutz F2M414 twin-cylinder diesel engine.
James Smither Abercrombie (1891–1975), a Texas oil driller, and Harry S. Cameron (1872–1928), who operated a machine shop, formed the Cameron Iron Works in 1920. [5] Abercrombie had an idea for a blowout preventer and took it to Cameron. They designed and built the device at the Cameron Iron works.
To complicate matters further, the free flowing oil was—and is—in danger of igniting. [4] One dramatic account of a blowout and fire reads, With a roar like a hundred express trains racing across the countryside, the well blew out, spewing oil in all directions. The derrick simply evaporated.
Oil sludge or black sludge is a gel-like or semi-solid deposit inside an internal combustion engine, that can create a catastrophic buildup.
Waste oil is oil containing not only breakdown products but also impurities from use. Some examples of waste oil are used oils such as hydraulic oil, transmission oil, brake fluids, motor oil, crankcase oil, gear box oil and synthetic oil. [53] Many of the same problems associated with natural petroleum exist with waste oil.
