i can assure you no physical damage to the filter, the filter is very safe in its place, its tucked at the side of the engine, and its mainly mud and soil that the vehicle travels not gravel... its just that my father got stuck on the mud because it suddenly rained. it took 8 people who help pull the vehicle that he was able to get out of the mud pit. the engine did put out its max power... but just wondering why will be damn filter will leak.
