Common sense as they say is no longer common.

Hydro lock is when the engine try’s to compress a liquid instead of a gas/air. Liquid won’t compress as much and locks up the engine.

Water in fuel gets atomized by the injectors. This is NOT hydrolock. Not enough liquid to lock the engine but it won’t burn well or at all stalling the engine.

Yep, however that passing lane was carved, in real bad conditions you're almost certainly safe rolling in the groove rather than forging your own path. 18 wheelers are great for this because they can make new tracks easier than most cars and smaller trucks. Always enjoyed seeing one pass me and allowing me to follow the tracks in my beater car.

Ripped through our Christmas gathering years ago, 11 out of 18 of us got sick. One of the worst experiences ever.

Hydrolock is when the engine won't turn from the liquid is the combustion chamber. You can hydrolock on pure gasoline. OP didn't hydrolock.

Time to escalate to

1. mayor
2. state rep
3. governor's office. That's who's ultimately responsible.

Totally understand and it's not your fault

> Mask and gloves? Might as well go skiing.

But, but, but I thought it was masks that kept people from ever getting sick the last three years.

I would definitely recommend not getting rid of them. Especially if they’re owned. Your heat pumps are great now but in the next five to ten years at least one will need a compressor or some other doodad and will be unusable for at least six to eight months. Where the propane my grandfather bought in 76 will still provide heat

I heard people say this about the jiffy in castleton not long ago.

That was going around last year too, had it for a few days, sucked.

He's using two different phrases to describe two different things. A hydraulic lock happens when a compressive space gets filled with an incompressible substance, typically water. That is a hydrolock.

The fuel injector doesn't put enough water into the cylinder to create that situation, but it does insert enough water to interrupt proper combustion.

I’ve owned two WRXs, both spun rod bearings. There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me uhhh — you can't get fooled again.

But seriously, the turbo Subaru engines are junk. Never had an engine issue with any car before or after those 2.

This also just happened at a gas station in Montréal!

This is an awesome story! Hope she can laugh about it now

These are the legit options. I drove 102 for the first time last month and was impressed! I want to drive Rte 26 this summer and VT 9 is also another gorgeous mountainous drive

>let it run its course...

Truer words...

When I was that age, my mom took me to a flower show. One minute everything was fine, the next Mom looks down to see me clutching a prize winning orchid in my fist; roots, ribbon and all.

My wife and I caught norovirus, likely on the trip home from a vacation that we took several years ago. Within 24 hours of getting home, we both had the most horrible stomach upset and diarrhea. We both had to stay home from work for a few extra days once we got home. I must have been in the toilet no less than 30 times in a single day. We drank plenty of water and fluids, and ate a small amount of easy to digest food, like bananas, rice, and ramen noodles. After 3-4 days we felt back to normal. Tired, literally wrung out, but normal.

Thanks for the heads up.

I love that we have people who are turbo Subaru's. Thank you.

Were talking about injectors spraying contaminated gasoline, not submerged intakes.

That's the reason I went there ngl. Always looking to save money, I would have never thought it would result in something that serious though. Never heard of bad gas before today

Has anyone seen winter dash cams?
