Engine Fires/Blocks Falling Out/Other Engine Failures of 2019
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Engine Fires, Blocks Falling Out, and Other Engine Failures can happen during any hook on any track at any time. We hope this never happens, but it does. One puller told me recently, "We may have an idea it's going to happen [or likely going to happen], but we really get to see what happened when it goes and how to resolve it." All the engine failures of the 2019 tractor truck pulling season that were filmed by WWPTV. #tractor #tractorpull #tractorpulling #tractorpullfails #tractorpullmishaps #tractorpullcarnage

I can't say this video surprises me too much. When you overclock an engine THAT MUCH, I'm fairly sure the hosts and audience alike expect this to happen at least a few times.

i dont know anything about these tractor pulls,how can these tractors with 4engines not be able to pull the weight without blowing all 4engines,like i said i know nothing about engines that have all that horse power,thats gotta be hard on the wallet,how much does the winner take home?

@@jerryedwards4489 I'm not suggesting they "try" to blow their engines up. But if you're going for the win... well, you're tempting fate by now. I got feedback from a more recent video explaining how a standard engine block is literally written into the rules. So add ridiculously overpowered parts, and destroying the block is becoming a real danger.

Right on! Pullers want to know what, when, where, who. So we try to help because one day we will not have the memory we do today. Some people do not like the captions and that is okay too. You are allowed to not like things in life, but what you see here is years of listening to pullers and fans alike.
The fuel usually burns out by the time they get a fire extinguisher on it, alcohol burns off quick, diesel is a little slower but not as hot so that’s why you don’t see a big panic when they catch fire I know looks pretty dumb how they react but they see it week n week out that’s why they don’t flip out when they blow up👍

So I have seen groups with them on their hips, at each distance marker, you name it. But when something like that happens, I’m paid to stay there. The officials are paid to see to matters on the track. But a lot of times, these invisible fires sneak up on them. The visible fire to the Everman tractor was tough to watch because the announcer was telling them there was fire. And I have heard numerous pullers say that chemicals does a lot of harm to an engine. I saw one guy recently have an extinguisher on his hip and it was exhausted and the fire was still going. Fuel was cut off but somehow it was still leaking on to a hot header. Took about 8 minutes total to completely put out.
