30 to 40. A lot of engines do 30.
It takes 40-60cc of fluid in one chamber at one time to hydrolock the majority of car enignes on the market. It has a tendancy of happening fairly often with home made CAI's mounted low on cars.
If you would have paid attention, yes, someone has hydrolocked an idling snapping a rod by dropping a vacuum line into the can. That's a MAXIMUM of 2 cups of fluid, not a garden hose.
It snapped a rod that is fairly beefy for an N/A v6 rod. Known to stand up to over 500bhp. (So we're not talking a puny rod either!)
If the mixture lowers the lower explosive limit of the fuel, the fire will go out. That does NOT mean the enigne immediately stops spinning. It will free-wheel, sucking more and more in until it stops. And that assumes it wasn't enoguh to hydrolock the engine nearly instantly, which is a fairly common affair.quote:
It would cause the engine to stop because it would put the fire out
Ya... You go do that, I'd love to see it.quote:
You could run an Earthling garden hose full blast into a medium sized engine turning 1000 rpm and not come close to hydrolock.
