Good morning all, I once read, not to fit an insect screen to the gu patrol td 3l, I have fitted a
snorkel, is it because it will impede the air flow to the radiator or was it only relevant prior to fitting a
snorkel ? Your comments will be appreciated, thanks, Adrian.

My advice is to carry some mesh in the vehicle and only fit it when required. I carry it around and have never bothered to fit it even in the spinifex (spelling). I find that I can clean out the front of the radiator easy enough. I want the maximum airflow into the radiator to keep the engine running at the correct temp, so I leave it off.Regards

in the ARB cataloge they dont recomend the insect screen for GUs , take a look at a combo insect and water bra at www.michellessacs.com.au , a few of us have them in our group the mesh comes with 2 spears that velcro on so you can swop them over on the track , it was first tested by Ray Harris at Eureka 4wd training for working in scrub areas to stop seeds entering , I am really happy with
mine it was on my 4runner and now fits onto my GU Patrol bullbar so should fit most 4x4s.Telfer mines rd

i have the sceens fitted from ARB with no problems at all
dont believe everything you read in there catalog they also say
to fit a long range tank the draws in the rear of your gu will have to be removed at a cost to you for access inside the car
fitted my tank myself all from under the vehicle?
