Default wanted: Diesels shooting sparks
I've been searching for this rare phenomenon and I can't seem to find any good pics of diesel engines shooting sparks. Anybody know of any? And I'm not talking about the little embers that occasionally come out, I'm looking for more of a spark shower. Thanks for any help.

Carbon builds up in the stack and then burns off. It is really common on GE's.
