1) Sand and dust are very dangerous for the engine when drawn in with the air for combustion. Together with the oil in the engine they act an grinding paste and very quickly cause excessive wear. Before going to regions where there is a lot of sand and dust we recommend therefore that cyclone air filters are fitted.
