Driving a flooded street

[dfopiso]

dapat P5 per year lang

[niky]

mag allowance pa kasi yung "waves" will add another 2 inches or 3

Six inches is closer to safe. Bow waves from trucks can be a foot high, actually.

[antonath]

Waist level? kaninong waist mo binase? hehe

kay mahal o mura?

or kay dagul. hehe

Marami na akong kilala, iniwan nalang sa office yung mga kotse nila tapos nag tiis nalang to commute home. And it turned out to be a good decision for several as nalubog din yung mga "high ground" parking nila near their residences.

yan ung ginagawa ko nung ondoy. no choice eh.

I have a question that's been running in my head...
What if turbocharged yung diesel na SUV mo? I understand na kelangan ipa-cooldown muna yung turbos para hindi masira.
Pano kung may leak/butas pala yung isa or several connections mo through the intake, to the turbo, then to the intercooler? Pano pag butas intercooler? or pano kung may maluwag na fittings sa connections on your intake and turbo? are you considered toast kahit naka snorkel ka pa?

[Retz]

naku, wag na sana magka ondoy or habagat this year.

[tosnelsa]

battery, starter, plugs, fuses, air filter, or everything... water causes rust, corrosion, and so much more... good luck fixing that flooded car, or see if insurance covers it.

The turbo itself should not be immersed yet if you've been driving very hard. You've got to give it time to cool before attempting the crossing.

If you have leaks before the turbo, too bad. If you have a leak between the turbo and the engine or through the intercooler, you should already feel it as a loss of power or boost... and the boost should have enough pressure to keep the water out.

Should.

kung waist level nila safe pa. huwag lang ung waist ni shaq.

Heto na naman tayo usapang baha dahil sa mga nagpaparamdam na bagyo sa ating bansa at dito sa NCR.

Dapat ng maging handa. Kaya ako nag pa fabricate ako ng metal stamping para ung tambutso ng kotse ko di madaling pasukin ng tubig. Mahirap ng tumirik pag nagkataon. Pero syempre wala paring makakaligtas kapag ka ilog na ung tatawirin at haharapin ng kotse mo.

Better be safe na lang at mag park sa mataas or tama iwan na lang kotse sa office para mataas ang parking..

[K.I.L.L.]

Rain has been pouring since yesterday. I already had to cross several flooded streets last night. The portion of SLEx in the southwoods area is underneath water. Nothing can cross. I hope you all aren't stuck somewhere.

[aylaisabelle]

Ngat lalu na ngayon panahon ng mga baha at bagyo. Be safe everyone!

lalakas na naman ang interior detailing ngayon. Mapupuno na naman ang mga car service centers sa dami ng binahang sasakyan.

Also, make sure na i rinse niyo ang underchasis ng mga cars niyo through underwash para hindi kalawangin ang mga leaf spring, shocks, bolts and ibang under parts ng sasakyan.

Keep safe!

Ayla

[Retz]

If in doubt wag ilusong ang sasakyan sa baha.

just did that yesterday at hindi naman ako nagsisi. took the bus home and came back with my folding bike nung tanghali kanina.

[Retz]

ingat lang mga sirs lalo na at tumataas na naman ang baha.

Fording your vehicle in floodwaters is also expensive as you are obliged to change most of the fluids (engine oil, tranny & diff oil, brake fluid, repack bearings, regrease ball joints, tie rod ends, U-joints, bushings, etc). This are the things you need to do if you want your vehicle to last. So if you can avoid a flooded street do so.....

Cheers

OT:

What is the SOP of gasoline stations that was submerge in flooded water? check ba muna nila bago sila mag operate kung hindi contaminated fuel nila? and as motorist, is it rightful to avoid those gas stations that we know that are in flood prone areas?

i do not know what their sop is. and i am not sure if they follow it in the first place. but it is only logical to avoid gas stations that are suspected of having gone under in a flood.. kaya ako, mabibilang mo sa isang kamay ang mga gasolinahang pinupuntahan ko..

[siopaonatoasted]

Madali lang i-pump out yung tubig sa tanke nila kung pinasok man.
