How to Deal with a Flooded Diesel Engine?

[DelJoy]

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery as soon as possible to prevent short circuits in the vehicle's electrical components due to water ingress. Check if water has entered the engine oil, as this can cause the oil to deteriorate and lose its lubricating properties, leading to excessive engine wear. Inspect the transmission for water ingress, as water in the transmission can cause the gear oil to deteriorate, resulting in gear wear. Check if the battery is fully submerged in water and replace the electrolyte if necessary. For vehicles with automatic transmissions, inspect both the automatic transmission and the transmission control computer for water damage.
