WHAT TO DO WHEN THE CAR STALLS DUE TO FLOODING?

When the car stalls due to flooding, one of the biggest obstacles of the car owner is not knowing how to handle his vehicle, even losing money to "ask for help" from the mechanic.

If you encounter this situation, the most basic is that people should not try to start the car, but quickly dry some necessary parts.

For Manual Transmission Motorbike:

Take your motorbike through the flooded area to a drier place. When the motorbike is flooded and dies suddenly, if the engine is started 1 or 2 times, it should not try or start the engine, which will make the incident even more serious.

When the engine starts normally, it should go to zero and go to the throttle so that if there is water in the car, it will be released.

Use the tool to remove the spark plug to dry and then install it again, often equipped by car manufacturers when buying a new motorbike.

Lock the gas and drain all the old gasoline left in the carburetor, then open the gasoline and start the engine.

To treat a stalled vehicle due to flooding, all the oil in the engine compartment must be discharged; clean and change new oil after cleaning the engine compartment.

Use specialized equipment to dry and clean electrical focal points in the electrical system to avoid corrosion, oxidation and short circuit.

It is necessary to dry the car brake system so that when using the brakes do not creak and do not corrode.

To ensure stable operation of the vehicle in the long run, the driver should take the car to the nearest dealer for assistance. Because when moving in a flooded area, the engine parts, car oil, and electrical system are all covered with water, so it needs to be cleaned.

For Automatic Transmission Motorbike:

With Automatic Transmission Motorbike, due to the special structure, the vent pipe of the automatic transmission is low, so it is easy for water to get in, causing the acidified engine oil to turn from ordinary yellow to milky.

When the car stalls due to flooding, the driver should not try to restart the car, which can aggravate the damage. What you need to do is take your car out of the floodplain to nearby repair shops, or you do the following steps yourself:

Remove the spark plugs, clean them dry, and then reassemble them.

Drain all the oil in the engine compartment, clean the engine compartment and change the oil to make sure there is no water in the lubricant.

The focal points in the electrical system also need to be dried, avoiding the situation that the circuit system is short-circuited, fired, leading to the need to replace spare parts.

It is necessary to dry the brakes to minimize the possibility of brake pads. If the chain, brake pedal and starting lever are contaminated with impurities, grease or engine oil can be used to clean it.

How to ride a motorbike through a flooded road

Manual Transmission Motorcycle: The driver of the car numbers through flooded places, so the number of the car in low gear is 1 or 2 to go, pay attention to keep the throttle even.

Manual clutch: When driving a manual clutch motobike when going through a flooded area, you should ride as low as possible and keep the throttle even, taking care not to release all the clutches.

Automatic Transmission Motorbike: Control the motorbike slowly and evenly, do not "crazy" the gas; If you encounter a place where water is deeply submerged through the exhaust pipe, do not drive the car through those places.

Electric Bike: Because the design of this electric vehicle uses batteries or batteries, when the road is flooded, you absolutely must not ride through this area, because then water is easy to enter the battery or battery, but once the battery or battery is flooded, it will be damaged and you will definitely have to replace it.
