It sheared, causing the driveshaft to rip open the lubricating oil system, and the engine seized up soon afterward. Air Force mechanics had first noticed excessive wear on the driveshafts of a Corsair in November 1984, and subsequently two others.
Diesel engine runaway: Diesel engine power is governed by the amount of fuel supplied. Excessive pressure in the crankcase can force mist of engine oil into the intake manifold, which can be burned in the same fashion as Diesel fuel, thus causing runaway. One-pedal driving mode and lack of brake application in deceleration and reverse actions. [16]
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.
