"It's not complicated. There are several steps that worked, and the car was so jreng back," sure Jay when met detikOto, Friday (01/18/2013).

1. Disconnect the battery

Many car owners forget this way. We recommend that when they wanted to pull the car out of the water first have to turn off the electrical car. The very first way is intended to prevent shorting.

2. Checking the engine components

After the car was moved to safety from puddles then check the engine components are submerged. Components that must be considered is the oil, spark plugs, other electrical.

We recommend that you spray the oil and spark plug cover with a compressor before opening. This step is to prevent dirt entry. Components that must be cleared is the spark plug, air duct, air filter, fuel intake system, alternator, magneto ignition, V-belt and chain cable.

3. Oil change

Replace engine oil mixed with water. After removing the oil from the engine, should be drained to the oil and let sit for 1 hour so that the rest of the oil down.

Once the oil in the machine has run out, you should not spray it with compressed air. "Just left alone," said Jay.

3. Drain the fuel tank

The last step is to drain the gas tank. Clean fuel tank as clean as possible to avoid a strike after the cleansing.

The trick is not difficult, just insert a small tube to the bottom of the tank and suction by mouth until fuel flows out until exhausted. Or if you are still afraid of clean, loose parts from the car and clean the tank.

2. Immediately disable the parking brake and then use stones or enter persnelling into 1st gear (manual) or P position (matic) to avoid the inherent brake, especially on cars that still use drum brakes.

4. Check all oil or grease, whether it's engine, transmission, and others because of the possibility of oil or oil has been mixed with water, so it should drain all the oil or oil with new.
