- First Aid for Flooded Cars
Apocryphal tales of drivers taking on deep water abound in pubs and works canteens. Did you hear of the woman who drove her brand new BMW into floodwater? Apparently the thermal shock of cold water on the hot engine caused the engine block to crack. If true, this was a very expensive error of judgement, but it is very easy to find factual references to thermal shock damaging catalytic converters in similar circumstances.
