If a diesel engine sits for three years without running, several issues can arise. Fuel can degrade and form sludge, causing clogs in the fuel system. Additionally, moisture can accumulate, leading to corrosion in the engine and fuel tank. Lastly, seals and gaskets may dry out and crack, potentially leading to leaks when the engine is eventually started.

It may not keep running very long if it is an old, worn engine. In which case it might be close to seizing up.
