A couple of days ago I drove through a pretty good sized puddle, about a foot deep and maybe fifty feet wide at about 25-30 mph. I wasn't trying to splash anyone, but I figured I didn't have to worry about getting any spark plugs wet. What I didn't count on was the splashing water under the truck folding a gas-tank heat shield back and bending it around the drive shaft. It was an easy temporary fix but it had me going for a while, trying to figure out what the new noise was. Sounded like a piece of sheet metal rubbing on something. Duh....

 

Amazing the physical damage water can do!

 

GAS TANK ?

 

My apologies, FUEL tank. Guess I get some more of these..

 

Fuel Tank I am sure he meant..... however, these are the same tanks used on Hemi powered trucks... so I guess it could be known as a gas tank??

 

nevermind. I reread the post. disregard this post.

 

I've often wondered what would happen to the DPF if it was sprayed or immersed while it is super hot from a regen cycle. Would it crack/break?

 

Wouldnt that be lucky
