Can Water Enter the Exhaust Pipe?
1 Answers
Water can enter the exhaust pipe if the vehicle wades through deep water. Here are some precautions to take when driving through water: Avoid Forcing the Engine to Start: If water enters the exhaust pipe and the engine stalls, do not attempt to force a restart. Instead, call for roadside assistance immediately. After simple cleaning and drying, the engine can resume normal operation. The repair costs are relatively low, and insurance claims are usually straightforward. Observe Carefully: Check whether the vehicle ahead can pass through the water. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the wheels, it is best not to proceed. Avoid Speeding: Drive quickly on sand but slowly through water. Speeding through water can create waves that may enter the exhaust pipe, causing the vehicle to stall.
