I run a V8 on LPG. I don't (yet) have a cooling problem, but with regard to keeping my V8 cooling system in top working order, I was having a look at electric fan kits.
Kenlowe claim removing the viscous fan and fitting an electric set will improve fuel economy because it only runs when it has to, not all the time like the standard item. I realise it doesn't turn with much force whilst cold, but anyway.
Also they claim they are more efficient having more blades, they move more air etc etc.
I did a search and most people on the other LZ boards seem to think they are a waste of time. They also drive Land Rovers that get their feet wet and so an electric fan strapped to the front of your car might not be a good idea for them!
Does anyone have any experience with using electric fans over the standard item? Are they worth it? Are Kenlowe indulging in sales BS! I'm not about to buy, just interested.
