Safari Snorkal
Does anyone know if the 2.4 puma Safari snorkal fits the latest 2.2 puma?

As we're going to Iceland in the Aug I think I'd be happier with a sealed system rather than the Mantec plastic job by I had on my old puma.

Thanks

In theory it should be worse, in reality not much.

Not really as it is designed to force air in rather than the conventional system of sucking in what passes the vent on the side of the wing Thumbs Up Russell

I'm afraid I'm not much of a fuel gauger, I tend to put in £50 per month in each of our cars and rarely fill them to the brim! I did it when it had 400 miles on the clock and haven't done it since Embarassed It came out at 27 mpg which is spot on for the driving and a tight engine. It didn't have the snorkel on either. Now you have mentioned it, I will check it on it's next fill just to make sure everything is tickety boo!

I can't see why a snorkel of this type would increase the MPG, it doesn't restrict air flow if that is the cause! Confused

surely the turbo sucks the air into the engine? the airflow meter monitors the air so it should not make any difference ?

Correct, air is sucked into the engine. A snorkel cannot provide a ram effect as the Defenders (and all other 4x4's) can't go fast enough. The bumpf that cooler air is provided by a snorkel is also just that, bumpf. There is not an appreciable difference in air temperature between the side-vent and snorkel intake. I've also found that a snorkel makes very little difference driving in dusty conditions, it may be marginally better than driving without one, but it's still advisable to clean out your air filter regularly.

A snorkel's main job is to provide protection against water entering the air intake. It's up to each owner to make sure how sealed that unit is, though. My Mantec, for example, is more splash-proof than water-proof. I could make it waterproof, but in water that deep you've got a whole host of other issues to worry about.

Your fuel consumption should increase because you've got a lump of plastic stuck onto your vehicle creating extra drag. But a brick is a brick is a brick, that's why the real world consumption increase is barely noticeable.
