Had a friends military truck do this. We had a propane leak once and an injector pump failure another time. RPM's can get up to where the motor will scatter and big parts become projectiles. Putting a shop rag in the intake was useless but neat to see as the exhaust from the truck was omitting a red haze. A piece of sheet metal stopped it the first time. That poor poor motor!

Another time a plumbing company hit a natural gas line with a back hoe and it made the back hoe really fast! It had twice the power!
