Why does your diesel engine run on?

If your diesel engine is running on (presumably you switch it off and it carries on running) Then either the fuel stop solenoid on the pump is not working and you have to "stall" the engine to stop it. Alternatively somehow the engine oil is getting in to the inlet manifold and is being burnt in the engine in place of the fuel. This can sometimes happen when the engine is badly worn or the engine "breather" is malfunctioning. the latter will usually be accompanied by black smoke from the exhaust.
