    naisip ko lang 'to last night while passing thru flooded sumulong highway on the way to antipolo; this will only work for diesel vehicles with the idle control knob.

    shift to 1st or 2nd gear, then just turn the idling control knob hanggang mga 1000 rpm na yung tach, step on the accelerator a bit and let go, the rpm will not drop immediately and your vehicle will continue moving forward kahit di mo tapakan accelerator. so, libre na yung paa mo to step on the brake if necessary. di mo na rin kailangan timplahin pa yung clutch, parang naka-automatic transmission ka non

    works on my x-wind and maybe on other AUV's, magagaan naman kasi body weight kaya 1000 rpm lang ok na. ewan lang sa malalaking SUV's.

    Tried that before, effective if the driver knows how to react on sudden brakes. Ingat lang, hehehe. :D

    On my ride I will need higher rpm, I think I used to put it at 1400 rpm. Patimpla timpla lang ng brakes pag sobrang traffic.

    namamatay ba talaga DIESEL engines pag submerge na tailpipe sa tubig?
    somebody told me that its not the same case with gas engines.
    mas malakas daw ang PRESSURE from a diesel engine tailpipe kaya kahit daw ilubog mo, di papasukan. without putting your foot on the accelator.

    any truth on this?
