My friend drove my Kubota X900 into a puddle and sucked water in the intake...but it kept running.
I saw water in the fuel filter and changed it. I also drained part of the fuel out of the full tank. There is no more water in the see-through filter bowl. I saw my oil was really high on dipstick and looked black and thin, so I changed oil and oil filter. I added a diesel additive to fuel. It starts just fine but blows white smoke and knocks. Once it warms up the idle is good but when I load it down driving it the white smoke starts again. I bled the fuel lines and it knocks pretty good while bleeding the lines but comes back to a nice idle when lines are tightened back down. do you think it steamed in the cylinder and blew my gasket? Is it ok to drive until i can get it repaired?

Quit driving it, it's damaged and driving or running it will do more damage. ;)

Air, (Gases), compress. Liquids, (water), doesn't!
A cylinder with water in it impedes the stroke and yes.........a bent rod can easily happen among other things.
Shut it down! You will only do more damage if you continue to run it!
Tell your friend "thanks for everything"!
