Brazel's,
Have you done any R & D in respect to the removal of the engine fan and replacing it with a electric fan ??
I posted this question some time ago and my friends on this site gave me a collective ..No !!
That fan has got to draw tons of power and milage when it kicks in not to mention the jet aircraft sound I can certainly do with out.
What do you think ??

Gregg

A few inital thoughts. New belt - what size? How big of fan would you need to replace the current one? How much space does take up? How is it mounted? What is the power consumption, battery wise? What is the temp setting? The temp could be important due to what is in front of the radiator.
