Snorkel – Should You Buy One or Not?

    Snorkels have been found to be greatly beneficial, especially in dusty environments. However, they can also provide a notable advantage in wet conditions. No matter what type of terrain you might be in, a snorkel can benefit your engine in ways you can never imagine.

     Although snorkels can be of great help in various off-road applications, the most obvious one is when crossing bodies of water or streams. After all, it would not be called snorkel if you don’t use it in such places, right? If you will cross waters that reach up to your vehicle’s engine, installing a snorkel is an absolute necessity.

    The snorkel of a car acts just like that snorkel you are using every time you go on an island getaway.  Fastfit Automotive Specialist snorkels raise the air’s point of entry away from the water andhigher. Similar to your own lungs, the engine of your car cannot breathe when it is submerged, not to mention the catastrophic failure that can result from water entering it. Just like the mouthpiece, the snorkel’s bottom part connects to the air box through watertight fittings. Even when you are crossing a river wherein the level of water goes beyond the cut out of the snorkel, you will still be protected from water that might enter the air box.

What If You Don’t Cross Rivers?

Ø      A snorkel can also keep out the water from the air box even if you will just go on a drive in the rain. Fastfit Automotive Specialist experts explain that the grid found at the snorkel’sopening causes moisture and rain to hit the air ram’s inside walls. Then, the water slides down the walls and placed the holes to exit snorkels in a strategic manner.

     Through letting the water pass through as well as exit the air ram, the air that continues down to the engine and intake is moisture-free.

 

 

What about a snow?

    Whenever you are traversing through the snowy environments, you may turn air ram opening around, facing backwards, keeping snorkels from clogging with snow that would melt to your air filter. Or else, once air ram is blocked, snow may pass through and could cause elements of paper filter to breakdown.
 

How to install a snorkel

Ø  Snorkels require a hole to be cut in your hood or fender. This will let air enter the snorkel to be directly sent to factory air box. Cutting the truck’s body isn’t for the faint of heart. That is the reason why installation of snorkels is left best to professionals, yet it’s less painful and cheaper than being stuck in somewhere with hydro locked motor.

Ø  If you do lots of off-roading, snorkels can be a good upgrade. No matter how dry or wet the weather is, snorkels provide protection from any elements. While it can be a little tough to see your trucks cut up, the advantages in reliability may make up for it.

 

Ø  Depending on your preferences or needs, the choice is yours if you want to buy a snorkel for your vehicle.
