After causing a dreadful accident and the hate towards him that followed, Diesel decided to steal Christmas. A Diesel 10 figure in his mind tormented him about it. In an alternate universe, Diesel hated Christmas. He dealt the final blow to Thitkens after he fell from Toby's cab by running over Thitkens and killing him, and thus avenging the death of Chuck. In July 2019 Diesel assisted in Toby's rescue from Thitkens. Later, when he derailed after being careless, he and BoCo witnessed Neil rush by, though they did not know it was him. In the deep freeze of early 2014, Diesel lent some of his fuel so Donald and Douglas could be freed from the snow. He is still boastful, but not as bad as when he first arrived.

Eventually, Diesel was moved to Vicarstown, where he now lives, and does many different jobs on the Island. Also, his class were being scrapped on the mainland so the Fat Controller gave him permanent residence on the Island under certain conditions. Diesel may have apologized and made up for his actions. However, this time, the Fat Controller sent Diesel to work at the scrapyard instead of going back to England. A year later Diesel told Fergus he was to be deposed and sent to work at the scrapyard. Diesel was given another chance, but on the first day, he ended up falling off the dock after trying to pull a massive amount of trucks to prove he was "The World's Strongest Engine." And yet again, he was sent away, however, after saving Oliver, Toad, and Salty from the burning Steamworks at Crovan's Gate, The Fat Controller decided to keep Diesel on his railway, the Class 08 changing his attitude. However, eleven years later, the Fat Controller ran into the same predicament when Henry had an accident with trucks. He bullied Duck and Percy and while trying to foolishly show his importance, accidentally banged the china clay trucks into the ocean. But like before, Diesel was up to no good. Diesel was the only engine available for rent (likely because of his attitude, no one wanted him), so the Fat Controller decided to give him another chance. In 1991, the Fat Controller was in desperate need of another engine to help Duck and Percy in the harbor.

And indeed, when Diesel started telling lies about Henry, the Fat Controller sent him back to England. He sent Duck to Wellsworth so he could investigate the matter. However, the Fat Controller knew well enough Diesel was likely involved. Henry, Gordon, and James started ganging up on Duck while Diesel acted as if he knew nothing. The trucks didn't keep this a secret, as Diesel had planned, and harassed the three engines. He lied to the trucks that Duck had called Henry, Gordon, and James vulgar names. Diesel now hated Duck and wanted to get rid of him, so he made a plan.

Eventually, Duck was kinder to Diesel but the trucks were still being horrid. Duck and the other trucks laughed at him, and the latter sang rudely about Diesel's failed attempt. The trucks fell apart and he had to help clear the mess. This did not go well at all as Diesel couldn't get the trucks to move and lost patience.

Diesel boasted that he was revolutionary, so Duck played a trick on him by telling him to pull some very old trucks. Duck was suspicious about Diesel and kept a close eye on him. He tried to impress the engines with his good manners (likely fake just to gain good attention), which worked well at first, except for Duck.

In June of 1957, he was brought to the Island of Sodor for a trial by Sir Topham Hatt, who was interested in trying the new diesel engine technology.
