[Healeys] Fw: Texas Kooler

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

I can attest to the fact that ambient temperature is a factor.  I acquired 
my BJ8 while stationed at RAF Bentwaters in England.  For a while, I removed 
the fan from by car and was able to drive without any fan(s) and without 
overheating problems as long as I could attain 40 MPH or so. That was easy 
to do around the Ipswich area.  Minimal traffic and cool weather.  Not so in 
the Sacramento Valley here in California.  Tried it for one day.  It 
overheated at any and all speeds.  I tried an electric fan alone and that 
was unsuccessful, also.  I am currently using a Hayden seven bladed flex fan 
along with a thermostatically controlled electric fan.

The theory I heard at the time was that a fan consumes about 10 HP.  In the 
process, I discovered how much noise a fan makes.  Take it off for a while 
then put it back on.  You might be amazed.
