This is the third or fourth post with the term dieseling. I’ve googled it but can’t find a tie to implosion. Please explain or share a link. Thank you.

I can't find a link either, it's weird.

When a sub implodes at crush depth it's incredible y violent. The imploding hull compresses the internal atmosphere in milliseconds to a small fraction of its previous volume, creating enough heat to explosively ignite anything flammable even if there is no ignition source. Analogous to how fuel is burned in a diesel engine, by virtue of heating from the high compression ratio.

Think of it this way - a diesel engine doesn’t have spark plugs to cause ignition of the combustible mixture. It uses glow plugs and Very High compression. That alone is sufficient to cause combustion.

Interesting and thank you. Appreciate it.

There’s a wikipedia article:

Dieseling or engine run-on is a condition that can occur in spark-plug-ignited, gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, whereby the engine keeps running for a short period after being turned off, drawing fuel through the carburetor, into the engine and igniting it without a spark.
