There is this too...

I had a similar but worse situation where I fell in a whole when mudding, both in the foz and my L-Series. With the L, water came upto the windscreen and the whole passengers side went in upto the windows (or close too, wasn't paying that much attention). When I got out though there was water in the dizzy and I couldn't get it to run on more than 2cylinders.
This is Kevin in his Foz, Mr T did the same crossing I'm pretty sure...

The H6 foz, before H6... filled with water and fried the ECU. Water came pouring in through the door seals but atleast it kept running.

Again I reckon this would happen, where your interior fills with water in a major crossing.... This was Jason's foz(previous member on here), I have had the please of driving this beast

This was in Perth, I reckon carby could possibly be better over EFI as there are no electronics really, except for the dizzy. This L ingested water though and hydrolocked...

12volt systems do work underwater so that's a bonus. Realistically though if I was doing water crossings often, like up in QLD I'd buy a old Hilux (non commonrail diesel) as they don't need electrics like new ones, have a snorkel on it, front diff lock and rear lsd (incase you fall in a rut you won't get diagnal spin like with Subies). Or an old Mazda Bravo would work too
I've done this, but this is pretty much my limit without a snorkel. I'm still tossing up as whether to fit the snorkel I have sitting in my shed or not.... because once you cut that whole in the car, there is no going back.
