Abstract
An air flow structure for use in providing air to an engine mounted on an associated vehicle includes a hood for covering the engine, an air grill and connecting means for connecting the air grill to the hood. The air grill has a contoured cap, air inlet openings around the circumference and a discharge opening. The inlet openings are angled and are covered by the cap so that it is relatively difficult for rain or other unwanted substances to enter the engine.
