why all the smoke when deep wading
Range Rover Blues:
Well a lot of it will be steam, not just from the hot exterior that's being splashed but also from the exhaust gasses, the atmosphere near the river wil be humid so it will condense more quickly than normal.
The blue and grey will probably be because many drivers floor it in water to keep momentum and unlike normal driving the engine speed does not increase so the smoking becomes more noticeable.

those pics really help guys thanks,
now i have some idea whats going on when deep wading,
whats the deepest has anyone ever been in there truck :?:
mark :D
waveydavey:
It does make sense actually.
As RRB says loads of right boot means loads of fuel but without the revs; that means the fuel doesn'rt all burn and comes out in the exhaust. The exhaust has just been cooled so less chance of burning in the exhaust - result black smoke.
jamiezx10:
no smoke just a wet fuse board as it got deeper........

A couple of inches above the wing mirrors, on a Disco 1. At the back, the spare tyre was underwater. So water half way up the windscreen, and that wasn't bow wave, that was standing water :shock:
At the time we were stationary, because Discos float :x
