Diesel will run on mostly anything if it’s running… including methane in the air intake, so you need to think quickly when presented with a generator that keeps running after cutting the fuel

Oil leaking around a turbocharger rotor seal also makes for good diesel fuel, if you define "good" as an exciting uncontrolled disassembly of the engine.
