Also to clarify... hydrolocking a motor is something I happen to know about being a Land Rover affecianado.
Hydrolocking occurs when the air intake is submerged in water like in a river crossing. Since liquids are not compressible then the motor can hydrolock when the quantity of water ingested exceeds the available space at the top of the cylinder between the piston and the head on the compression stroke.
Water in the fuel system is delivered by the fuel injectors and is atomized and cannot hydrolock the motor. It can inhibit combustion but it will not hydrolock the motor.
