Looks like car airbags

An old buddy of mine wanted to prank some folks out in the desert by burying an airbag (which he had pulled from his old van), setting some beer on top of it, and then setting it off when they went for the beer. Clearly, this would have been insanely dangerous, thought we'll never know exactly how dangerous because the dude ended up breaking his own nose because he accidentally set off the airbag as he was trying to burying it. (For some drug-induced reason, he wired it all up first.)

I'm assuming water got in. Mixed with oil by the movement of the diff, it's basically mayonnaise now.

It's an oil/water emulsion. Guy drove through deep water and it got into the diff. The seals are designed to keep oil in, not water out. Water of sufficient depth will have enough pressure to push past them.

It's not (just) the seals, there's usually a breathing hole to deal with thermal expansion, and if you ford something deep enough water will get in quite readily.

Yeah, most offroad vehicles add breather lines so that the water won't get into the differential ventilation. Usually on their air intake snorkel so there's some air draft to help ventilate.

Differentials also have a vent at the top to handle expanding gasses when the fluid heats up. Off-road oriented vehicles should have a tube from this vent up to a high point on the vehicle that is unlikely to be submerged.

Reckon we can turn a car into a total grill station

Cook burgers up on the radiator
Mix mayo in the diff
Lettuce and tomato growing from the dirt on the floorboards

Not sure where we can get some buns from though. Open for ideas.

I've helped replace diffs contaminated with swamp water, I've also been there when an 18 year expired half empty food service size tub of mayonnaise, that had been stored in our shops hold (the expiration date was from before the ship's keel was laid, :iiam:) was opened.

The diff smelled worse. But in a much different way.
