Got to go to chester and back this afternoon but got a problem with my disco 3.5 efi on lpg. When i run it on lpg and with the spray of water its killing the lpg flick it on to petrol and it runs fine. Checking the air filter and its wet so it must be the water getting into the air system killing the lpg. Now the air intake is a standerd one that sucks air in from behind the passenger side headlight. Now here is the thing have not got the stuff to make a snorkel so anyone know anywere in the engine bay that will be water free or any sort of screen i could make up to stop water entering the air intake. Thanks in advance

You could try adding on some trunking so its sucking air from very close to the exhaust manifold. That should be nice and dry.

Would you believe i had some spare trucking ......................................................................................................until a couple of months ago then gave it away as i thought i wont be needing it again. So have cut a plastic beaker so it heads towards the front corner with a cutout in the side so it should stop water going in to the air intake

Dave:
You will have to run it on petrol mate.

What its about a 140 mile round trip at 13 mpg = alot of money for petrol :(. Or just £25 for lpg :)
