Looking for low-priced vehicle for the floods

[Dr.Kamiya]

Yung hindi ko gets is yung purpose ng snorkel.

If the water gets that high up to the hood, lubog na rin lahat ng electrical parts (alternator, aircon, relay boxes, battery terminals, etc.) the system will short out soon enough, even if hindi mapasukan ng tubig from the air intake.

Perhaps someone here on the forum can enlighten...

I've read some stuff that said they're not actually for water crossing, but more to get an air intake that's above most of the sand and dust for desert or safari type driving.

Edit: Found this on youtube. It agrees that the primary purpose of dust nga, but also mentions water crossings but with preparation also done on the rest of the vehicle. Snorkel by itself wont be good enough, need to do other stuff like seal the airbox, extend diff breathers, etc. Also says that there are "snorkels" that are really just raised air intakes.
