Toyota Hilux - Thank goodness for a Snorkel

Early June 2007, there was a severe weather event on the NSW central coast. I was had to transit this road. The water depth markers indicated 0.6M - this is no problem in my car - so I continued cautiously. It turns out the water was actually more like 1.2M deep & this is a problem for my car - it comes up to the windscreen! *** CAUTION *** Do not try this unless you are experienced & 100% sure of your vehicles capabilites - otherwise, you may get stuck, your vehicle may get extensively damaged - or worse, you may die.

is it ok to still use my car (with this snorkel) if it heavily rains? will this water that enters my snorkel damages my turbo and engine? thanks so much
TitanChains 27
TitanChains 27 - 6 years ago
Benjie Bautista Yes it will be fine, if you feel unsure just turn the air ram looking backwards.
Benjie Bautista
Benjie Bautista - 7 years ago
what if it rains heavily, of course water will enter into my air filter and it probably goes inside my turbo and engine, what will be the bad effect of such water coming in?
saph
saph - 7 years ago
it will do crud all

Rain does not enter at such a great rate that it enters the engine wet .
it may lay in the bottom of the filter housing but intake charge
absorbs it as humidity though the air cleaner and its combusted as if
its a high humid day . As the moisture runs down the snorkel intake
tube most of it is evaporated and if it doesn't it condenses and
dampens the air filter and is evaporated as air travels though the
filter. In seriously heavy Darwin down pours a snorkel still copes
with it . any moisture getting close to the turbo is evaporated into
humidity. its not like is dealing with the amount of water you give it
when you submerge an engine in a creek. there is a huge volume of air
going in and water doesn't stand a chance of doing harm from just
rain.

Do you have tubes for the breathers in your tranny and diffs? I did a crossing in my 4runner a month ago (video is posted) and  my transmission is now dead due to water getting in.

My old 2005 ford superduty had a snorkel and I could not extend the trans breather, just the transfer case and the axles. Never had a problem with the trans and it was underwater. If you can extend your trans do it.

he said he changed into low range while he was already under water, that is a big no no for anyone that comes into a situation like this, depressing your clutch pedal while there is water inside the bellhousing may cause the clutch to slip and you will lose all power and pretty much wont be able to move

SSThunder763
SSThunder763 - 11 years ago
Yeah, mine was a stock 2.4 litre petrol. Upgraded suspension, wheels and tyres. The air intake on that model was right behind the headlight so I attached some radiator hose that was horse shoe shaped so that it wouldn't suck in water on deep crossings. A snorkel is a much better idea tho!

Ive done a few similar crossings in Cairns during wet season in my 96 Hilux which was lifted 3inches and had 33's under it. Had to rescue a bloke in a Rodeo cause he thought he new what he was doing......detonated his standard diesel rig, so I towed him to Toyota to buy a new LUX! He wasn't happy......

Really impressive performance. Probably too good. Convinces half wits they can easily cross running water. I've got a 3" lifted, front and rear locked petrol 100 series, snorkel, winch, 33's sliders ect and wouldn't EVER consider that. I know there's lots of vids like this but I wonder how many people are dead because they crossed water after watching something like this. Cool Vid but needs a warning for dumb folk that its still water and crossing swift moving water = death.
Matt Barnes

low range would have been smart, then again not putting himself in a situation where the SES or police might have to rescue him instead of someone more deserving would have been a better idea.

@timbo69b here, here, my parents bought a Range Rover in 1990 following a head-on smash of a campervan travelling on the wrong side of the road with a Ford Station wagon. Thinking it'd be a substantial car, they were wrong and along with my Grandad's reservations of British made cars (having seen it all before decades ago), they were set for 11 years of heartache with about half the cost of the car ($74K in 1990) spent again in repairs. Every holiday, there'd be a breakdown.

I love it "Well that was scary" HAHA No kidding. By the by, if you pop the hood latch next time, it will allow water to vent out of the front easier. (because it was being moved by your fan) and that will make it easier on the engine to run. just a thought... nice vid, SO glad you did not decide to just stop in the middle! Cheers
TTFJ120
TTFJ120 - 14 years ago
It would never enter the exhaust while the engine is running. But if the engine did stop water would travel up the pipes. Not all the way to the engine but far enough to cause starting problems due to back pressure. In some cases the pipe will explode if enough pressure builds.

my question is, even if the input air flow was miles above the water front, what about the exhaust? how did they stop the water flooding right up to the cat/exhaust manifold? im assuming there must have been enough pressure to keep it away from there, but say the engine died momemtarily, and the water flooded up, wouldn't it reach the piston level?

wodanowitz
wodanowitz - 15 years ago
The only 2 things I have to agree on are: Never change gears in such deep water! There might be hidden obstacles under the water that can stop your drive and bring you in deep deep trouble. Logs, road washed away....what ever. Did something happen in reference to the wrong indicating depth markers? Did they replace them or change something toward safety?
wodanowitz
wodanowitz - 15 years ago
Dond't listen to all these assholes! Fact is... You got a Diesel vehicle with a snorkel. That's far more then enough to tackle a (wrong) indicated water depth of 0.6 meters. And to this idiots talking about this bow wave shit. The depht markers show how deep the water is. If it is indicated at 0.6 then this is with out bow wave !!! And 0.6 is nothing for a diesel vehicle with snorkel, with or without bow wave. Go for it timbo. Did some thing happen in reference to wrong indicating marks

hey timbo, great vid! did you have the snorkel head turned around backwards? i have the same truck as yours, only mines a 2004 model. where you mentioned the depth was over twice the indicated 2x600 = over 1.2m, i doubt it highly mate. 1.2m is just below the windows and since you were moving id say the bow wave would have taken the water to the top of the windscreen if it was, if in fact you didn't float away first. regardless, great truck hey. better than a new generation lux IMO

Nice, does get the heart rate going a bit doesn't it, plus you find out how many leaks the 4wd has, I can wade in water in my 2.8 hilux up to 1.5m, but only in still water. I ended up fitting a pair of marine bilge pumps on the floor and done a bit more sealing around the steering shaft and gear stick tunnel covers. I extended the breathers from all suspect bits (F & R diffs, gearbox and transfer, power steer, brake and clutch res, winch motor, and fuel tank into the cab at roof level. top video

that is excellent,my worst nightmare has just been given hope,question though,although the jeep had a snorkel wouldnt the water make its way up the exhaust and get in that way? did you have many electrical problems afterwards?

Marvellous video... You seemed pretty calm and collected when you casually said "this is bad" It would have taken good driving to get through that... Don't listen to the other nob heads on here tryin to bag you... Well done

Wow! By snorkel you obviously meant on the vehicle! Thank god indeed! Very cool! My home town Terrace, BC was just flooded, people there could have used a snorkel though the river would have swept them to their deaths. Good for slow, or still water only!

Heh! This is a beautiful valid reason to the RTA and the gubberment body that controls the ADR's as to why 20" lifts and 44's are required in NSW! With the above lift and tyres your floorpan wouldn't have even touched the water....

Great vid mate. Must've been scary. Where is that filmed, ie what road..?? At first I thought you sounded a lot like my brother ;) Glad you made it safely across, and your right, it does show that depth markers are usually wrong! Cheers, Si (Aussie in UK)
