Group, We all know what can happen when a car overheats and the De
Lorean is no exception. I have always heard that if you get over
about 35 to 40 MPH the cooling fans are no longer drawing air because
the out side air due to speed is forcing it's self thru the radiator
and cooling the water. At this point why have we got the fan's on and
drawing down the electrical system. Several have posted that they
don't have a cooling problem while driving on the freeways or going
some where if you don't have stop and go traffic. We'll today I added
a feature to my Fan Fix to turn off the fans while going somewhere
that isn't start and stop and no heavy traffic. It's 88-92 degrees in
Dallas, about 6:30 pm, sun still pretty high along with the
hummidity. I did a 40 mile trip to my office and back and the temp
gauge just barely got above the first mark off the bottom about 180.
I had the air conditioner on all the way had a couple of stops to
exit and go to my office. I had the fans turned off the whole trip.
Got back home, sat under the carport for a few minuits and watched
the gauge go up just below the 220. Then I reached back behind the
passenger seat and fliped the switch on The Fan Fix Dual 2 X 2, Car
cooled down as supposed to and end of story and heat. The moral is
The car will run on your distance trips with out the fans on all the
time drawing down the electrical system. And those cold climates, you
may not need them on all the time either. So, This I will call:
The Fan Saver.
