Storage Bag, 5.5 X 9 Oval, 6 Tall, Red

OVERVIEW

In the world of air-cooled performance, cleanliness isn''t just about aesthetics; it is the frontline defense for your engine''s longevity. When you are hauling your sand rail to the dunes or storing your Baja Bug for the off-season, your high-performance intake components and air filters are vulnerable to moisture, fine silt, and nesting insects. The OUTERWEARS Red Storage Bag is the professional solution for keeping your critical components in race-ready condition. Designed with the same rugged engineering that makes their pre-filters legendary, this storage bag provides a dedicated environment for your 5.5 x 9-inch oval filters or intake assemblies. Whether you are protecting an expensive pre-filter from getting snagged in a gear bag or sealing off a carburetor setup during a frame-off restoration, this bag ensures that when it is time to bolt things back together, you aren''t fighting grit that could score your cylinders or clog your jets.

Constructed from a durable, moisture-resistant material, this red storage bag is specifically sized at 6 inches tall to accommodate a wide variety of oval-shaped air elements and velocity stack setups commonly found on Weber and Dellorto configurations. The high-visibility red color isn''t just for style; it makes it incredibly easy to locate your spare parts in the bottom of a dark trailer cabinet or a crowded tool chest. The integrated locking drawstring is the standout feature here, allowing you to cinch the opening tight around the base of your component to create a secure barrier against the elements. At Appletree Automotive, we know that the difference between a podium finish and a "Did Not Finish" often comes down to the smallest details, and keeping your intake path pristine during transport and storage is a detail you cannot afford to overlook. This isn''t just a bag; it is insurance for your air-cooled investment.

PRO TIPS

1. Protect Your Pre-Oiled Filters

If you carry a spare pre-oiled air filter for long trail rides or race weekends, don''t just toss it in a plastic grocery bag. The oil can break down some plastics, and the bag offers zero protection against punctures. Place your oiled filter inside this Outerwears storage bag to keep the oil contained and the filter clean. The breathable fabric prevents "sweating," which can happen in airtight plastic bags and lead to mold or degradation of the filter media over time. It is the best way to ensure your backup filter is actually ready to use when you need it most.

2. Off-Season Carburetor Sealing

When winterizing your VW or storing it for an extended period, moisture in the air can lead to internal corrosion in your carburetor''s venturis and jets. After removing your air cleaner, you can slip this storage bag over the entire carburetor or intake stack and cinch it tight. This creates a secondary barrier against dust and humidity. For the ultimate protection, place a small desiccant pack inside the bag before tightening the drawstring to absorb any ambient moisture that might try to sneak into your intake manifold.

3. High-Visibility Organization

In a busy shop or a crowded race trailer, everything looks the same when it is covered in dust. Use the bright red color of these bags to signify "Ready-to-Go" parts. By standardizing your storage with these high-visibility bags, you can tell at a glance that the component inside is clean and inspected. If you see a part sitting on a shelf without its Outerwears bag, you know it needs a cleaning or an oiling before it goes back on the car. It is a simple visual management system that saves time and prevents engine-damaging mistakes during a frantic engine swap or tune-up.
