Tech Talk: Snorkel Fitment, Fuel consumption

- a viewer's question: How much performance improvement/fuel saving will you get from fitting a snorkel?
Snorkels are an excellent way to protect your four-wheel drive engine. The higher air intake gives you the combined benefits of cooler & cleaner air input, safer water crossings and increased airflow for improved performance.
4WD’s fitted with Ironman 4×4 Snorkels benefit from increased airflow to the engine and a raised air intake to minimise the chances of water ingress.
These snorkels are manufactured from high-quality materials which are UV resistant to increase longevity, plus a built-in rain deflector to stop water from getting in during heavy downpours. All built to Australian standards.
Designed to fit neatly and snugly to the contours and air box configuration of individual vehicles, with full installation instructions and template included, be sure to check that you are ordering correctly for your vehicle make, model and build date.
Don't forget we have discussed the snorkel before: • Snorkels! Misconceptio...

Mick is such a legend.
If Mick van Zyl were to travel to an alternate dimension in which there was another Mick van Zyl and they both fought, they would both win! 😂
I want that winter hat pompom Mick van Zyl is wearing
Is the snorkel head not blowing off by the wind under heavy acceleration???
Hi Mick. just a silly question on the comment about air being " forced down" in the snorkel. will it make a difference if the top part is facing forward or backsword's ? I would assume backward will help if you are driving in convoy on a dirt road ?
Good Day Frik, Mic will answer your question in another Tech Video, as this is a questions we get a lot. Subscribe, hit the notification button to be notified. Have an awesome weekend.
My snorkel made a whistling sound, and I turned it around and whistling is gone. Works for me.
Salt air is another killer of air filters, besides dust.
So the snorkel does improve gas mileage?
A snorkel will improve breathing of the engine and should reduce fuel consumption.
I just want a snorkel due to all the heavy rains , there are floods all over city streets.
Thank you for the explanation Mick. But why do people then have to spend the money to fit a snorkel in the first place? Apart from deep water crossings.
Hi Jaco. It is always our advice that vehicles that often operate on unsealed roads (gravel Roads, Etc), should be fitted with a snorkel to keep the air filter system cleaner for longer. A blocked air filter will increase fuel consumption and decrease engine performance. More importantly however, it will also be less effective at filtration potentially letting dust particles into the engine. This is very bad for engines and turbos. Money spent on a snorkel is cheaper than the cost of an engine rebuild.
Try driving a gd6 on a dirt road daily without a snorkel and you might have to rebuild the engine
@@Ooo-nu6ot I drive a gd6 on dirt daily with a snorkel and Ive been pretty disappointed with how much dust gets into my airbox, fine particles seem to also make it past the filter, and yes Ive even put grease around the filter.
Wouldn't that be John Smit ???
