To what extent can a car be submerged in water and still function normally?
1 Answers
An automobile can function normally when submerged up to the level of the exhaust pipe. Many car enthusiasts worry that water reaching the exhaust pipe may cause backflow, but in reality, the pressure generated by the engine's exhaust is substantial enough to expel any water that enters the exhaust pipe. Therefore, as long as the engine does not stall and the vehicle maintains sufficient and stable power, it can prevent water from backflowing into the exhaust pipe, allowing safe passage through waterlogged areas. Below is an introduction to some car insurance options: 1. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Covers losses due to natural disasters and accidents, recommended for new drivers. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Compensates for third-party personal injury or death caused by the car owner, a mandatory purchase for protection of oneself and others. 3. No-Deductible Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the car owner's liability to the insurance company, reducing the owner's losses. It is advisable to purchase this if both Vehicle Damage Insurance and Third-Party Liability Insurance are already in place.
