Re: Radiator Fan/cooling, etc

2001-11-15 by Tad Todd

Hi Don, Stephen et al.,

When I got my car it had a kenlow radiator fan but no engine fan.  
The kenlow (thermostatically controlled) fan went to the well-
populated British electric parts heaven.  I simply replaced it with a 
fan purchased from my local Pep Boys parts store.  I believe it cost 
about $80 and performed admirably in the South Florida summer heat.  
I also swear by a product called Wetter Water (or Water Wetter, I 
always get it mixed up).  It's some sort of glycol radiator additive 
that I've found to be very effective in keeping the engine temp under 
contol.

Good luck,
Regards,
Tad
