Many people ask us why we distribute Safari Snorkel and not the cheaper brands.

It has to do with a number of factors. 

IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN AIR

1^st as you have heard us say throughout our videos, clean air is vital to the life and performance of the engine. Water will hydraulic lock the engine and dust creates a sand paper effect when it mixes with grease. 
Both cause expensive engine damage.

The best way to keep engine air intake clean is by regular filter changes and a good quality snorkel.

Knowing this, we then choose Safari Snorkels due to their designs Read more...

A.P: What are your thoughts on blowing an air filter out with an air hose at the local service station – good/bad or only when needed?

Allan: You haven’t really got much choice, but if you tap it on the ground a bit get most of the dirt out and then blow it from the inside out until you can’t see any more dust – that’s all you can do and I believe it will be adequate.

A.P: So  – take an extra spare filter (at least one), try to keep them as clean as possible, check them regularly, and try to avoid situations where you’re blocking it up.

Allan: Unless you want to talk about snorkels, the use of snorkels doubles the life of the motor in heavy dust conditions! If you watch a film of vehicles in convoy, the only thing protruding above the damaging dust is the snorkel head!

A.P: Wow, ok. This is a classic; leave the snorkel head on forwards or backwards?

Allan: Nah, turn it backwards ....Read more

 A.P: So you should take a spare filter with you?

Allan: Yeah, I don’t like the foam ones at all.

A.P: Ok, so what about traveling with other people, say a group of 6 vehicles, good idea, bad idea, is there anything you can do to have a better trip with the air filtration?

Allan: Well either be the leader or stay half an hour behind everyone else.

A.P: Half an hour?

Allan: Well…Read more...

I’ve got a couple of questions about air filtration. Let’s say we’re going on a similar trip that you did last week, where you’re going convoy in dusty conditions; How important is air filtration?

Allan: The air filtration is probably one of the most important things to watch for. I’ve seen engines wear out in 3 months when there is bad filtration or leaks in the filtration system. I think clean air is probably the most important thing, with mining industries indicating that without proper filtration, engine life could be shortened by 50%! Read more
