[DeTomaso] Overheating and fan directional theories

Fri Jul 1 05:34:16 EDT 2016

If you are still experiencing overheating problems, you may want to try the
solution taken by Doug Mann many years ago. If I remember his words, they
were something like "If two vents are good, four vents must be better!"

(Going through old folders when I found some of his potos...)

     A  A So, when installing the Fluidyne radiator in my Pantera, I
     decided to

     mount the
     A  A fans on the back instead of the front.
     A  A This was going to work well except the twin fan assembly I had
     didn't
     A  A have the proper vane curve on the fan blades to work from a
     puller
     A  A direction.A  What I had to do was buy new fan blades and swap
     them out.
     A  A  A You can see some of that on these pages, mid-way down:

     A  A It all worked out well in the end and I never had any
     overheating
     A  A issues.A  Some folks have just as good operation with rear
     facing
     A  A pusher fans mounted to the front of the radiator.A  Either way
     should
     A  A work fine but you'll want to make sure the curve of the blades
     is
     A  A proper for the direction the fans will turn, otherwise they
     won't push
