I recently was looking around for funny youtube videos when I saw someone drive into a flooded area and he said "Uh Oh, I think I just flooded it". I know what flooding a car is but whats when people talk about flooding an engine with gas? I heard that's a thing and nothing that I look up is really what I'm looking for. So can anyone help me out on my question?

They pour the gas in the wrong space and damage the engine.

I think that this means when you overgas the engine. You flood the carburetor with too much gasoline.

when you overgas the car you are flooding the engine..like depressing the gas pedal too much can flood an engine.

That's what we say, I think it's when you flood the carburetor with gas by stomping on the gas pedal when starting the car.I have done it.
