Commer TS3 engines

Around 1960 I was a Field Engineer with CAV in Acton, doing field trials of experimental diesel injection equipment. I heard then of a TS3 engine which broke a fuel pipe which passes across the top of the engine. Diesel got sucked into the manifold in huge quantities, despite what the governor would have been trying to do. I'd love to know what revs it reached, and exactly what blew up first!
