The phenomenon is also referred to as'after-run', or'run-on'or sometimes dieseling, when it causes the engine to carry on running after the ignition is shut off.

Dieseling ( in the sense of engine run-on, and disregarding combustible gaseous mixtures via the air intake ) can also occur in diesel engines, when the piston or seals fail due to overheating, admitting engine oil into the cylinder.

The report that the forward section was crushed and that charring in the bow section indicated dieseling from an implosion ( or alternatively from a fire ), would indicate that the explosion occurred while " K-129 " was submerged and at depth.

The Research Octane Number, or RON, is the number assigned to a fuel's ability to resist knock during the engine's low-to-midspeed range and to oppose after-run, or dieseling, when the ignition is shut off.
15.
The dieseling phenomenon occurs not just because the compression ratio is sufficient to cause auto-ignition of the fuel, but also because a hot spot inside the cylinder ( spark plug electrode, combustion-chamber / valve edge or even excess carbon ) starts combustion.

As with many strong oxidisers, contamination of parts with fuels have been implicated in rocketry accidents, where small quantities of nitrous / fuel mixtures explode due to " water hammer "-like effects ( sometimes called " dieseling " heating due to adiabatic compression of gases can reach decomposition temperatures ).
17.
Until the mass-market introduction of fuel injection, the industry's remedy for dieseling was to install an electric solenoid into the fuel supply circuit of the carburetor, energized by the ignition coil primary wire : when activated, the solenoid would open and allow fuel to flow normally out of the float bowl, through the fuel-metering jets and into the engine; when deactivated, the solenoid would close and prevent fuel from being drawn through the jets and into the engine.
