Where is the air intake on a car?
There is an air intake tube that’s easily accessible from the outside. This means it’s usually located behind the grille, fender, or hood scoop. After cold air is drawn from the outside and goes through the tube, it then goes through the engine air filter. Outside air isn’t pure; it usually comes with things like pollen and dust.
Can you start a car with air intakes too low?
Air intakes far too low – RT. The main issue with flooding is recovering a stranded vehicle that’s been inundated – starting the engine in those conditions is likely to be terminal unless the ingested water is removed first. A normal car is ok in about 200mm of water – assuming it’s driven slowly to avoid a bow wave.
Can a car take in water through the air intake?
Don’t expect a car to do a job it’s not designed for. If it’s a petrol engine, you’re more likely to take in water through the exhaust than the air intake. Put your hand over the air intake. There’s hardly a great vacuum and the path through the airbox is tortuous. You’d need some pretty deep water to actually ingest water.
