Dusty conditions

Hi James

Thanks for the info. Where did you get it from??

Cheers

James,

The sock that I think that you are talking about is made of foam and goes on top of the snorkel and is held in place by the head of the snorkel.

If this is the one,it was for Hilux snorkels to try to stop the vibration,didn't work that well, and not to act as a pre cleaner. I have seen a few dry out and end up in the air filter box, blocking the air flow. They also tend to restrict the air flow.

The best way to avoid dust is to sit back out of the dust, this is not always possible but the head of the snorkel can be turned to face the rear of the vehicle or a pre cleaner head fitted to the snorkel.

Wayne,

The filter sock I'm talking about must be realitive new on the market. It is designed for what I said. They come in different diameters to suit different snorkels.
You take the head of the snorkle off and place it in there. It hangs down in there approx 300mm. It is made of a red filter foam and has a rubber ring on top to hold it in place.

James.

They've been around for a while. Unifilter make them - try

Be aware that they can be sucked into the snorkel, and are a PITA to get back out...read remove snorkle and use wire...
