Hi list,
Does anybody know how oil bath air filters compare to dry element ones in a
sand storm environment? Seeing the news from Iraq makes one wonder if the
air filter issue was properly addressed. One reporter mentioned that air
filters had to be changed constantly... Opening the air filter canister in a
dust storm probably doesn't help either. Now if the air filter was somewhere
inside the cab of the vehicle, then it could be replaced without getting
blowing dust/sand in the canister while making the change.
It must be almost hopeless to try to repair an engine in a dust storm (David
Bloom's report). Perhaps a shelter would be filled with dusty air as well.
Just wondering.
