| Should I mount my electric fan
in front of or behind the radiator? |
| If space permits it is always better to have your fan
operate as a "puller" by mounting it on the
water pump side of the radiator. A "puller" electric
fan is 15% more efficient than a "pusher" electric
fan. |
| What is the ultimate way to hook up an electric
fan? |
| Use a fan wiring kit and a brass sensor for your water
coolant temperature. You can wire a relay to turn the
fan on at 195° and off at 175° or use an adjustable
fan wiring kit. Cal West Auto Air & Radiators offers
both fixed and adjustable fan wiring kits. |
| Is there any other way to hook up an electric
fan? |
| Yes. You can wire a manual control switch and turn
the electric fan on and off at your discretion. |
