Toyota Hilux - Thank goodness for a Snorkel
Snorkeling 17 years ago 209,821 views
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.
Gotta be careful though…

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.
