Default First to fill Snorkel with water

Well I finally did it, I always thought I maybe the first to hydrolock with a snorkel, I came as close as you can without actually hydrolocking. I fill the intake hose with water. It got into the intake but I stalled out before blowing the motor.

Well there was a BIG DEEP Puddle so I went thru it really fast like I always do and it lead to this, My intake tube FILLED with water and some got into the intake, we took the throttle body apart and cleaned all the water and mud that we could get to in there, took the plugs out, it still turned over thank fully the guys with me knew of a product called sea foam that they use on boat motors but you can use it on any. We got me back together after cleanign it out and then I discovered my one plug wire broke when I was taking it off. So I had to limp back to camp on 5 cylinders, then I rode shotgun for awhile then we went to auto parts store, then it poured all night so sunday am I finally fixed the plug wire and poured in the sea foam and it started up and ran good

couple pics, thanks knottymaid








I just want to say I did make it out of this hole, it was when I turned around to run thru again that my engine stalled and then I checked the air box

about 3 cup fulls inside the snorkel/air intake right up to the top of the motor, dont think there was any in engine after we pulled plugs nothing really shot out, but it did get past the throttle body

I think you are asking about the floor boards nothing much really, I was going FAST and didnt stop in this one but I have filled the interior up quiet a bit before.

Your jeep is not a submarine.
