My 4 litre petrol engine FJ45 troopy does not have a snorkel. Can anyone tell me whether it's a good idea to fit a snorkel, in my case.

I know that snorkels are fitted to most diesel engines. It would seem to me that when crossing a deep waterway if the water level reaches the sparkplug level the engine is likely to stop anyway, so how would a snorkel be of any advantage?
(except maybe if the vehicle is stuck waiting to be pulled out, at least the water would be kept out of the air intake, assuming that the snorkel connections are absolutely water tight)

I understand that snorkels are also advantageous for getting cleaner air up higher in dusty conditions.
