ABSTRACT:
An engine air intake system comprises a primary inlet tube or snorkel with an opening that provides air to the air cleaner, and a secondary inlet opening located downstream from the primary inlet opening. The primary inlet tube also has a low point, with a drain to eliminate any of the water. If the primary inlet tube becomes partially or completely blocked with water, the secondary inlet tube will provide the necessary air to the engine until the water is eliminated through the drain.
