Im guessing it was a vodka inspired idea, actually if it was a diesel motor it wouldnt need that much waterproofing.

I know barrus engineering who make all the garden machinery have engines for military applications which have to start after complete imersion.

The unique, patented FAST PIRSTM system enables an engine to be restarted after complete submersion within just 40 seconds.

This entails evacuating all the water from the cylinder head, transfer ports and fuel system.

:bevis: thats cool!

there is a guy on one of the bike forums with a suzuki bandit, it was totally immersed in the floods ooop north a couple of years ago, but was re started for £20 and about an hours work, so with the right choice of vehicle, they can be relatively resistant to water anyway..
