Safari Snorkels are a valuable addition to your Land Rover if you are going off road. Travelling over extreme terrain, fording rivers and driving through wet or dusty conditions can be damaging to your engine. Having the right air intake set up will reduce the risk of drawing outside particles and water into the engine when off road. In these situations a snorkel will maintain or improve engine performance.
How Do Safari Snorkels Work?
When fitting a Safari Snorkel to your Land Rover you are raising the air intake. Instead of air being drawn inside at engine level the snorkel inhales air at roof level which is essential when crossing rivers or driving through dusty environments. The air at this height is cooler and cleaner which is better for your engine.
When in motion Safari Snorkels operate an air ram system which forces the air down the periscope via the raised funnel through the natural forward movement of your Land Rover. Dust and moisture is separated by an in built system before reaching the air filters within the engine.
There are models of Safari Snorkel where the angle of the funnel can be adjusted so that it doesn’t get blocked by snow or excessive rain water. This is particularly useful when travelling in areas prone to torrential storms and downpours.
Safari Snorkels were invented in Australia in the 1980’s so they have been tested in the harshest of conditions the continent can throw at it. You can be confident of a robust and hard wearing product. Being UV stable the composite materials and fittings can withstand prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.
