What is the wading depth of a van?

[Clyde]

The wading depth of a van is 30-60 cm. Here is some extended information: Vehicle wading depth standards: The wading depth standards vary for different types of vehicles. For sedans, it is 20-30 cm, for SUVs it is 30-60 cm, and for hardcore off-road vehicles, it can reach 70-100 cm. Generally, as long as the water level does not exceed the height of the engine intake, there should not be any major issues. Even if the water submerges the exhaust pipe, the strong exhaust pressure can blow the water out of the pipe. When wading, try to maintain a low gear to prevent the vehicle from stalling. Problems after vehicle wading: Deformation and damage to the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism. When a mixture of water and air enters the engine through the intake, since gas can be compressed but liquid cannot, the connecting rod may deform under the influence of water. If the owner attempts to start the car at this time, the enormous reaction force can cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder wall, resulting in irreversible damage to the cylinder block.
