Then I would pull the air cleaner and see if it is got any significant amounts of oil it in. I would also see if there is oil in the black plastic elbow going to the turbo. You could have a significant amount of blow-by causing the engine to runaway on engine oil. OR the turbo seal could have failed allowing oil into the intake causing uncontrolled engine acceleration.
I just looked up what a runaway diesel is boy that is frightening. I have alot or blobby in the engine and a moderate amount of oil in the air filter. Would the emergency shutoff valve still work in an event of of a run away diesel because when this happened to me the shutoff valve worked just fine for me.
