But keep in mind that oiled filters do not work well with snorkel in the dusty condition. The dust will cake on to the filter and create a clog. So regular dry/paper filter would work the best.

Now... AEV snorkel has Pre-Filter set up which work with drop in oiled filter.

 

do either the aev or volant snorkel have issues with snow or ice?

 

That's a good question!
I've never thought about whether a snorkel in a snowstorm would be ok. I suppose there would have to be a drain point someplace along the intake for water to get out.... but that would also let water in, defeating the purpose.

Does anybody have a snorkel in a snowy climate that might answer this?

EDIT: nevermind, this was answered in a similar thread that is going on now...


So do you guys who dive into the water have a switch to turn off your radiator fan first so it doesn't slap the water and break anything?
