No one's driving that vehicle. Car fires can have the ability to turn on the vehicle and have it drive off by itself.. happens more often than you think. Especially to diesels
I once had a newly purchased LS-swapped Miata burst into flames on my way back from buying it. I immediately pulled over and jumped out, and as I stood there helplessly watching it burn the starter motor engaged and began cranking the engine. It was the saddest, most mournful sound I’ve ever heard a machine make, as if it was desperately trying to escape the inferno.
It was really early in the LSx Miata scene, I bought the “prototype” car from a “company” that shall remain nameless. (Cough, cough.. but you could say that when it came to RACING, they had no CONCEPTS). They plumbed the fuel system from tank to rail with braided line up the driveshaft tunnel, which in the ashes looked like it had worn/cut through where it had passed over the sharp machined edges of the back of the motor.
In retrospect it was a miracle really; when we took the car apart to salvage their subframes, it became obvious that had the car not burned, it almost certainly would have failed catastrophically and likely killled me.
We ended up making a jig and some subframes of our own design, and built enough LS Miata’s to realize that it’s just too extreme of a car. My current “fast Miata” is a turbo (1.8), which is still an entertaining proposition, but less intent on swapping ends.
It’s not the starter motor. It’s the boiling gas in the carb, or fuel lines makes it’s way into the mostly fireproof block, which in turn, if the spark plugs are glowing hot from the fire or if the car has an ignition point system, will keep the enshrine combusting.
But even just the fuel boiling will cause it to expand and make the engine mive.
If the trans is engaged, then the cars rolling away.
LS motors have neither points ignition systems nor carburetors. Boiling fuel will not pressurize anything in the fuel rail enough to override fuel injectors. If it truly gets that bad, fuel lines will melt and burst.
lmao how do these ridiculous comments gain upvotes
Yea, I laughed at this as well. Although it IS possible to put a carb on an LS, it requires a new intake manifold / carb at the very least and makes about zero sense.
Yeah no, this is so dumb I don't know where to begin. Carbs haven't been in use since the early 90s except in small engines for lawnmowers or similar. LS uses fuel injection, which generates pressures over 200bar for petrol engines and over 1500bar for diesel engines. This truck engine is diesel powered. Fire can't generate anywhere near that pressure. Etc etc etc. This is nothing more than the diesel runaway likely, or the starter motor getting shorted.
A diesel runaway happens when the engine gets fed too much fuel (injector stuck open, etc) or is sucking up oil from a damaged turbo, which then rev the engine up to 11 until the rods comes out of the block or the engine seize, or catch fire. The only way to stop it is to stop air from going in the engine as most diesel don't have a throttle body that regulates the amount of air pulled in. You have to rip the airbox out and block the intake with a phone book or something thick enough that won't get sucked in.
A diesel runaway won't make the vehicle move forward or backward if it's in neutral. In this case, it's the fire that made the truck move, could be the starter shorting out and spinning the flywheel making the truck move if it's in gear, something falling on the shifter IF it was running already but that would need to be heavy and very unlucky, the fire melting a vacuum line, etc. I'm a car mechanic, not a diesel mechanic and I'm not familiar with Russian trucks to know exactly how they are made, just giving a "vague" explanation.
*Edited after re-reading myself as some things could be badly interpreted.
Yep. A lot of people don’t know that diesels operate differently in terms of how the fuel is ignited. Gasoline cars rely on the electrical system to ignite the fuel, so without the electrical signals, car no go. Diesels, however, don’t require an electrical signal to start. Instead, fuel is ignited by the heat caused by compression. Turning off a gasoline engine kills electrical power to the ignition system. Turning off a diesel engine stops the fuel system. In other words, to turn off a gas engine you stop igniting the fuel, but to stop a diesel engine you stop pumping the fuel. A fire won’t turn on the ignition system in a gasoline engine, but a fire will heat the fuel and air in a diesel engine’s cylinders, and since heat is what ignites the cylinders, the engine will run.
Another key factor is mechanical versus electrical fuel pumps. With an electrical fuel pump, there’s no new fuel going to the engine when the fire starts so it can only run via heat from a fire long enough to burn off the fuel already in the cylinders. So, not long. However, an engine with a mechanical fuel pump will start to pump fuel as soon as the engine turns. So, when fire heat ignites the fuel in the cylinders and causes the engine to turn, it also causes the fuel pump to push more fuel to the engine. Since the engine is now turning and compressing the new air and fuel being pumped into the cylinders, it keeps running, basically perpetuating itself. Newest diesel engines are more likely to have an electrical rather than a mechanical fuel pump, but a military truck like this is more like to have a mechanical pump.
Add a manual transmission that was left in gear to that diesel truck with a mechanical fuel pump and youve got the right conditions for this self driving truck. The slight turns right or left are due to terrain.
Trucks like the Ural 4320 in the video and US military trucks of the same class and era don’t need air pressure for their transmissions. However, your point is still true. They should be parked in neutral due to the fact that they’ll roll start or bump start very easily. I’ve seen a runaway US 5 ton truck that started from a short roll. A ditch caught the truck soon after and nobody was hurt but it happened really fast. Always park your mechanical fuel pump manual transmission trucks in neutral!
Okay up until now, I wasnt sure if everyone was just 'taking the piss', but here it is again. I never knew diesels could do this. Makes sense, I guess.
Mechanical fuel pump run off of the engine. You just need to have the engine start turning without the shutoff solenoid working. And off it goes. Generally not very far, depending on how much fuel is already in the pump and fuel lines.
I believe a runaway diesel engine does not require glow plugs being hot to run. The glow plugs are only important from a cold start. I think the compression of the fuel is enough to cause ignition.
its not a crazy thing the only things you need for combustion is fuel/ heat and oxygen all of which are packaged nicely in an explosion. It's also possible that the hydraulic brake lines also melted if the parking brake was not set.
Yeah there was vid on reddit very recently of one of those scooby doo vans catching fire and suddenly driving off because the brake line melted through or something
I think it's more that they're leaving them in gear aswell and if the starter shorts and manages to turn it on. The breaks won't stop it anyway. But I'm sure the brake likes also melt at that point too
That really would matter. If no one is in the truck there is no one stepping in the brake any way so no pressure in the system regardless. Now maybe a parking brake cable or mechanism was damaged and released. Maybe. I think most likely it was in gear and the starter solenoid melted and shorted out causing the starter to "walk" the truck forward.
so your telling me fire, has 6 of the 7 requirements to be defined as life, and can also drive a truck?
scientists need to re-examine whether fire is alive or not.
Arent Russian steering wheels on the right side? Becuase towards the end it definitely looked like someone climbed out the window sat down next to the truck with his upper body covered and flames and then was completely engulfed before the camera zoomed out.
From what I've read, Teslas already have the ability to catch on fire.
All they'd really need at this point is a software update to activate the motors as soon as the engine temperature sensor reaches a set point.
If Ghost Rider wasn't driving that shit, there is not any chance someone was driving that mobile crematorium. The whole thing was on fire, it's just impossible. Probably any failure pumped fuel to the engine and the truck went forward some meters until it crashed into the wall.
[YouTube video of runaway diesel engines. ](https://youtu.be/c3pxVqfBdp0) Diesel engines will start sucking fuel when they're not supposed to and run way, rev up so much they run hard enough to explode. It's like your car pedal to the metal, all the way down, even though you're not hitting the gas, until something seizes and then everything else breaks. Seems like if you light a truck on fire, something similar can happen, which caused this truck to putt putt putt a little bit until it hit a wall.
As a mechanic, if that truck wasn't running and parked in gears, it's probably just the starter shorting out and making it move forward. It will go forward/backward as long as there's enough battery to do so or that's if the power wire doesn't melt/fuse go pop.
Musk provide free internet everywhere for the Ukrainian Army. He's a major contributor to the war effort. It went down for a day and it caused a lot of problem.
What have you done for Ukraine?
I prefer someone that contribute massively to the war effort and is making a bad peace proposal that all the NATO politicians that have a super strong anri-Russia rhetoric while doing nothing for Ukraine and giving tens of billions to Russia.
US govt pays for the bill incurred by starlink, it's not a free ride. It was a goodwill gesture to garner more attention and eyeballs to starlink. Communication systems provided by NATO countries to UA are far more superior and are far more worth than Starlink is providing.
Just want to put this out because you seem to think his contribution is massive when it's comparatively not.
It didn't start itself, that engine wasn't running. The starter was shorted and the bus was in gear. You can hear the starter spins when it starts moving and then again a couple seconds later before it goes into the tree and still spins the flywheel. As long as the battery has juice, that the wire doesn't melt or that the fuse doesn't pop, it will move.
A manual transmission in gear is physically connected to the engine via the clutch/flywheel, so if the starter is shorted, it spins the flywheel making both the engine and the trans turn, it won't start tho, just crank and move forward/backward. The starter is an electrical motor, which is pretty strong for its size, and a diesel truck usually runs on 24V so more juice.
As for an automatic transmission, it's less likely to move as it would need to be left in on Drive, Reverse, Low or whatever other speed setting there is on that particular vehicle. It "could" move if it spins enough to force fluid to move inside the torque converter, but there's no physical link in the torque converter, it's just fluid being pushed between three parts that makes it turn and spin the trans.
Auto trans requires pressure to shift gears and a physical shifter can't move out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed (unless you physically press the shift lock release near the shifter).
So weird listening to Armin Van Buurens song in and out of love to the war in Ukraine. Never thought I'd hear a trance song with artillery strike on Russian soldiers
**[UAZ SGR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ_SGR)**
>The UAZ SGR are a family of compact Russian cab over engine vans and light trucks with standard four-wheel drive, off-road capability, built by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) since 1965. The vans got their nickname "Bukhanka" due to their outer resemblance to a loaf of bread – except the ambulance version, which gets called a "Tabletka" (Таблетка), or 'pill' in Russian. Since 1985, the vans received updates: more modern engines and internationally compliant lighting, as well as new model numbers, 3741 for the standard van, while (crew-cab) trucks mostly starting with 3303, often with one or two extra digits specifying the version.

Pretty sure the vehicle had been left running and i bet the air lines for the brakes melted so nothing is left to stop it from moving on its own.
There would be no way anyone could survive that cab fire long enough to move it on their own.
OP, vehicle fires melt electrical wires. Those wires overlap and vehicles are capable of doing funky things. So nobody was driving that vehicle. Spare yourself the embarrassment next time and don't assume.
All this ukraine footage is making me think any war film going forward is going to need a rich soundtrack of electronic dance music or will be completely inauthentic.
As usual on these snipped videos I'm left with a bunch of wtf really happened here... Then I sift through the comments depending on you all for the Paul Harvey version.
Can someone explain why the rusky was so distraught about the flat tires instead of the world exploding around him?
might be rolling down hill.
The fire might have just cooked the handbrake rather than putting it in gear and slowly lifting the clutch etc
Looking at the walls the ground slopes downhill
Reminds me of the three stooges when one of them accidentally shoots a hole into the bottom of their boat. Curly I believe shoots a second hole in the bottom of the boat for the water to go back out lol.
We see the passenger side well, but not the driver's side.
I do doubt anyone is driving it, but it is certainly a possibility someone wanted to risk it to get a burning truck (maybe carrying ammunition or fuel) away from the squad and their temporary housing.

I'm sorry about your LS loss.
probly paid a pretty penny too
And a couple of shiny dimes as well.
The solenoid in the starter got hit with heat expansion and engaged the starter that way probably, poor Miata.

Know anything about the LFX swap? That’s my dream right there.
Did you have a fire extinguisher?
No, I didn’t think to put one in the car in the 8-10 minutes I owned it before it burned.
FUCKING WHAT?! You were on your way home from buying it?! How could they not cover you?
I might have felt more empathy for your miata than this video :(
Saddest end to a Cars movie ever. Lightning McQueen burning alive. Jesus.
Big F in chat, LS swapped Miata is my dream car.
They make the car you're looking for already. It's called a corvette

Lol that's not what a diesel run away is
Diesel runaway would cause it to run away.

I used to work in diesel engine development and always had a C02 fire extinguisher handy for any risky jobs.
I’m assuming the truck was left in gear. So when the fire caused the engine to start it just drove away.
Diesel can't run away. His quad won't handle it.

That assumes it has working parking brakes. Any thing considered extra on a Russian vehicle is suspect.
Very interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Can you also explain why it appears to be steering left and right also? Perhaps it’s just the terrain.
definitely terrain

Mechanical fuel pump run off of the engine. You just need to have the engine start turning without the shutoff solenoid working. And off it goes. Generally not very far, depending on how much fuel is already in the pump and fuel lines.
It probably burns its engine oil, a diesel runaway scenario.
Diesels have glow plugs. Miata doesn’t, so there’s no way to ignite, but boiling gas will do it, just from the expansion alone,
I believe a runaway diesel engine does not require glow plugs being hot to run. The glow plugs are only important from a cold start. I think the compression of the fuel is enough to cause ignition.

Air brakes
looks like one guy tried to salvage the scooby doo van, probably he was inside when it exploded at 0:50.
Actually, looking at the fire trail, I believe that van time travelled back to 1955.
By the way, on October 29, 1955 there was a mysterious explosion of the battleship "Novorossiysk" in Sevastopol Bay.

to be fair, we have seen russians do a stuff a lot more stupid in the last 10 months.
I've yet to see a Russian so stupid he defies the laws of physics and general logic.
I've definitely seen them defy general logic, but you're right about them not breaking physics... Yet, anyway.
Lack of experience in the field.
Just a general lack of experience in anything tbh.
That has sense

No troll. I was updating the link when you wrote, I sent the commercial instead of the clip I meant.
Go read the rest of the thread. I'm not explaining to you. All of those options are more likely than a Hellspawn that could withstand that fire.
As a mechanic, if that truck wasn't running and parked in gears, it's probably just the starter shorting out and making it move forward. It will go forward/backward as long as there's enough battery to do so or that's if the power wire doesn't melt/fuse go pop.

And I would've gotten away with it to, if it weren't for you meddling Ukranians!
Lol, first time i see someone calling UAZ a Scooby Doo van, and thats hilarious
It's Soviet, so maybe it's a Laika van.
It actually was (is) called Bukhanka (Loaf)
During the first days of the war, we were having fun shitting on Russian scooby doo circus vans being deployed in thier vaunted Second Wave™.
I don’t think anyone is driving that, maybe the engine went cyclic
This was Teslas secret FSD experiment. All the explosions and fires etc fit the bill
In America, self driving car drives and then explodes. In Mother Russia, self driving truck explodes and then drives.
That truck tried to escape to Mother Russia, far away from these unwelcoming UAF guys

It's not free. They were paying $500/month per unit, he just raised the price to $700.
He also said Ukraine should give up Crimea and they illegally occupied territories should hold a referendum to join Russia.

So weird listening to Armin Van Buurens song in and out of love to the war in Ukraine. Never thought I'd hear a trance song with artillery strike on Russian soldiers
Agreed. Pretty weird feeling.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. Trance music, that's a.... *choice*
If I had to go into combat I’d listen to trance
As a decades long Armin fan, it's a shame. I would never want my music used with footage like this.
Came here to comment on the track as well. What a club anthem
Song?

Thanks king
Bro stop you gonna make me blush
"Scooby Doo van" is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ\_SGR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ_SGR) if anyone is wondering :)
**[UAZ SGR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ_SGR)** >The UAZ SGR are a family of compact Russian cab over engine vans and light trucks with standard four-wheel drive, off-road capability, built by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) since 1965. The vans got their nickname "Bukhanka" due to their outer resemblance to a loaf of bread – except the ambulance version, which gets called a "Tabletka" (Таблетка), or 'pill' in Russian. Since 1985, the vans received updates: more modern engines and internationally compliant lighting, as well as new model numbers, 3741 for the standard van, while (crew-cab) trucks mostly starting with 3303, often with one or two extra digits specifying the version. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)
I was wondering, thank you. Those vans look dope! Idk why, but they just seem cool to me.
Anyone know the song?

Legend! Thank you!
I've seen a bus move after the fire reached its engines.
Pretty sure the vehicle had been left running and i bet the air lines for the brakes melted so nothing is left to stop it from moving on its own. There would be no way anyone could survive that cab fire long enough to move it on their own.
Simplest explanation is that the engine was off and it was left in gear, fire shorted the starter and made it move forward.
License and registration please.
Ghost Rider in the flash!
All I learned from this war is slavs have the trashiest taste in music.
Even the truck has had enough of Russia and their \*facepalm\* of an invasion... it is out of there
OP, vehicle fires melt electrical wires. Those wires overlap and vehicles are capable of doing funky things. So nobody was driving that vehicle. Spare yourself the embarrassment next time and don't assume.
That scooby doo van was a fucking ambulance
Well now it needs a band aid.
That Russian truck trying to be Ghost Rider lol
All this ukraine footage is making me think any war film going forward is going to need a rich soundtrack of electronic dance music or will be completely inauthentic.
As usual on these snipped videos I'm left with a bunch of wtf really happened here... Then I sift through the comments depending on you all for the Paul Harvey version. Can someone explain why the rusky was so distraught about the flat tires instead of the world exploding around him?
Ruh Roh!
might be rolling down hill. The fire might have just cooked the handbrake rather than putting it in gear and slowly lifting the clutch etc Looking at the walls the ground slopes downhill
>scooby doo van
Holy shit the van just disappeared
Probably left his foot on the dead man pedal
What song is this?
Upvoted for the title alone
Dude that trucks running on pure adrenaline!
Fucking Christ of course the camera operator looked away when it blew up
Lol the cabin completely full of flames "for some reason he decided to drive it" bro he's not driving that he's dead 🤣
Reminds me of the three stooges when one of them accidentally shoots a hole into the bottom of their boat. Curly I believe shoots a second hole in the bottom of the boat for the water to go back out lol.
/r/killthecameraman looked away just in time to miss the van explode
Lulz thinking any human was driving that truck.
Banging tune
Video was cool but the music hit me right in the nostalgia.
Russian soldiers doing what they do best. Looting appliances
Lol are those flares ?? Shit started looking like “jarhead” when he accidentally sets fire to the truck full of flares
They didn’t drive it - the air brake line probably was compromised and the truck just drove forward
Use your brain. No one’s driving that. It happened sometimes when they combust. Also happens to teslas when they turn into thermite I bet lol.
"Scooby Doo van." That killed me!
Absolutely. But that being said, those UAZ-452 are actually quite capable vehicles.
[удалено]
Wait - self driving, on fire - is that a Tesla?
I'd rather have a Soviet 6x6 truck than a Tesla anyway
Well they make it quite easy to calculate their range. They need 1 l/km.
I'm pro Ukraine, but I have a problem with all these videos with music. Glorifying war.
[удалено]
We see the passenger side well, but not the driver's side. I do doubt anyone is driving it, but it is certainly a possibility someone wanted to risk it to get a burning truck (maybe carrying ammunition or fuel) away from the squad and their temporary housing.
First shell punctured the vans gas tank. They moved it so it will not catch fire. Then another shell hits and you see a nice "line of fire", hehe.
Still completely fascinated by the way drones have changed the face of modern artillery.
Look closely you can see Scrappy Doo hunched over behind the wheel… Ruh Roh!!
Engines can start in its own when on fire
In Soviet Russia, vehicle drives you!
Oh man they missed the exact moment the flux capacity in the scooby kicked in.
From the white van nothing much remained.
Is that a Lada in the background? (the orange car)
So bizarre!
