HOW DEEP CAN A DIESEL SERIES GO IN WATER
Miniman:
I have just been given a challenge for this year. I have to take the roof off and drive in water over my sholders. I have a inlet breather (SNOKEL) and rased breathers for the axels but what about the oil filler cap will it let water in ? Also its a perkins 4203. NOT A LANDY.....
what do I need to be thinking about. Take manual fan off disconnect battery....ect ect....
Come on guys dont want to brake it.......
What do I need to check ?

wow, now theres a question.
in my humble opinion,
make sure your raised intake is absoluley water tight, use silicon sealer ect.
wouldnt hurt to tape a bag round the oil cap.
idealy use a sealed battery,
vasoline all electrics, terminals, and mechanical linkages,
take out seats, they will hold water like a sponge (literally).
make sure water cant get into the diesel anywhere, and drain tank after your done.
and change all oils after your done.
but, i woundnt do that with mine, i think your asking for trouble :?
