Subject:      Removal of "water" drain plugs?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"


Hi Volks:


In the bottom of the air intake shafts, in the pan that forms the bottom,
exists a rubber plugs that seals a water drain hole.


I am considering removing those plugs - so water entering the side scoops
has a place to drain.


Is there a good reason to leave those plugs in place?


FWIW, the bottom of the pan has ridges that appear to be designed to route
any gathered water to the hole - so it sure looks like the holse served a
purpose in draining water.


No wonder our vans get seam rust - with the plugs in place, the intake
shafts keep water in contact with the seams.


TIA,
