Systems and method for managing temperature in an engine of a vehicle

A snowmobile comprising:

• a frame including:
• a tunnel, and
• an endless track;
• an engine supported by the frame, the engine having at least one engine air inlet,
• an intake air flow path of the vehicle being defined from air entering the vehicle and flowing into the at least one engine air inlet;
• and
• a coolant container assembly supported by the frame, the coolant container assembly comprising a coolant container for holding cooling liquid, the coolant container assembly being fluidly connected to the intake air flow path at at least one connection point,
• the coolant container assembly being arranged to selectively provide an amount of cooling liquid to flow from the coolant container into the intake air flow path via the connection point.
