Just heard of a man who, on finding his car get very hot, pulled off the road and bundled his family out for fear it would catch fire. Retreating to a safe distance, he realised he had the ingition key in his hand but the engine was still running. Somebody stopped and blocked the air filter to stop it. That's all I know but how could it happen?
If it was a petrol engine, cutting the ignition should stop it. If it was diesel - well exactly how is a diesel vehicle engine stopped via the key? I have no experience of diesel vehicles but the three diesel boat engines I have had were, if memory serves, stopped via a tug on a piece of wire which opened a cylinder valve, so decompression did the trick.
