I never heard of a run away Diesel running backwards, but I guess a two cycle could. Two cycle ship diesels are reversed by starting them backward. But I thought that if a Diesel just ran away, it ran in the forward direction, don't know what kind of kick would make it go backward. I saw the results of a 3208 Cat that ran away, in a block truck, it wasn't pretty. It smoked like a big dog, so they called the fire department thinking it was on fire, but when we got there we quickly found out what it was. The driver said it wrapped the needle of the tach around the peg, practically. Scared the heck out of him, all that screaming of a Diesel winding past 7 grand and then blowing its cookies. The poor driver just about crapped his pants. Blew everything out the bottom end of that poor engine, too. He was going up a hill with a full load of block, for a short time, was doing pretty well until he hit the red line and just kept on going. Agree that the CO2 extinguisher was an excellent idea, someone was thinking on their feet in a pressure situation.
