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.

NO! Don't attempt it. Don't run diesel in your gas engine and don't run gas in your diesel engine! It will cause your engine to run improperly with loss of power and lots of white or blue smoke. It will clog your engine and if you run it with the wrong fuel too long, will result in complete engine failure.
