ABSTRACT:
An air intake filter for an internal combustion engine disposed in an automobile engine compartment beneath the hood, behind the radiator, generally includes a housing with an upper and a lower portion which provides an intake for air in front of the radiator for scooping undisturbed air flow and communicating the same to the engine. A filter is provided and disposed between the upper and lower housing portions for removing solid particulates from air intake and, importantly, the housing is configured for separating water from the air entering the intake before the air enters the filter.
