Looks like we're going with an electric fan due to space constraints in the Toad. Any preferences and/or history with fans?

Thanks,
John Brayton :?: :?: :?: :?:

Look at all my posts.....plenty of them! Many new ones in the past two weeks. Do a search on electric fans. The latest ones are in the "Electric Fan Survey"

Hi A.T.

After posting today I saw your earlier posts. Thanks for responding! My Toad has about 2 5/8" in front of the radiator for the fan. The electrical info on your earlier thread was very useful.

What I have learned is that two 10" fans draw less amperage than a single 16" and cover more area where they are needed near the the top where all the heat collects and don't have any interference problems with the water pump. They also run about a 1/4 of the time of a single 16" fan. Far less battery drain. :D :D :D
