One thing I've noticed about the electric fan is when I've installed the water pump fan for tests the force of the water pump fan spins the electric fan and causes the tattle-tale light to light up. The only thing I can figure is that the free spinning fan is working like and generator and is...
The fan I have (a Spal) is 24 volt and if memory serves me right it pulls 11 amps therefore there has never been an alternater/battery problem.
I've changed to all mechanical gauges including a mechanical oil temp gauge. With the removal of the water pump fan I was a little concerned that the...

Hello --- Thanks for all the input.
Redwolf3 Sez:
We are saying the same thing --- just in a different way. On a cool day I can deactivate the fan and the thermostat will keep everything modulated within the 180 degree range. This isn't optimal (200 degrees is optimal) but its comforting to...
New Hot Weather Tests on Electric Cooling Fan
I was finally able to do some hot weather testing on the electric cooling fan and the new, less restrictive fan mount.
After much experimentation I have to say the project was a success AND a failure.
It is a success in that it offers a solution...
