This invention relates to an automotive air filter assembly, in
particular, an assembly which includes an air flow chamber portion and a
liquid reservoir portion. The air flow portion includes a panel filter
for filtering air flowing to an engine. The panel filter includes air
filtration media and hydrocarbon absorption media to inhibit release of
hydrocarbon vapours to the air on engine shut down. The air flow portion
also may include resonance chambers for acoustic silencing purposes. The
liquid reservoir portion can include a pump for delivery of fluid such as
windshield washer fluid.
