Water in my air filter box

Post by Jay »

Was driving the other day to wheel with Nadim and had odd RPM play around....truck stalled...

knowing that water on my distributor could cause that or water on the air floe meter....but it ended up baing water accumulating under my K&N air filter which is DEADLY
Cleaned all the water out and continued to the trail....was snowing or raining heavily then it did another time !!!!

My air filter box is sealed....could it be water going through that stockish Camel Trophy snorkel which is made of steel and parallel to the floor....
Was raining and snowing heavily that day

Still facing a slight cut off....I hope nothing serious damage occured to my engine

A bit of water is good for the engine, cools the air, sounds like you have found a cheaper form of water injection :D

have you checked the aircleaner drain - the little rubber one way flapper valve in the bottom of the air cleaner housing, or on the lowest section of the pipework? i think a disco has one............
