A vehicle’s engine can fail in numerous ways, with hydrolock being one of the most disastrous. Hydrolock, though rare, can severely damage or even destroy an engine by flooding its cylinders.
The term “hydrolocked”, describes an engine that’s internal movement is halted, due to the presence of fluid on top of one or more pistons.
Since fluid, in general, is largely incompressible, the piston found within the affected cylinder is prevented from reaching the top of its stroke. This effectively “locks” an engine’s rotating assembly in place, thereby preventing any further movement.
