Electric Fan distance from core
I have a 36 PU with a 16" electric fan. The fan is mounted about 3/4" from the radiator core as a puller fan (engine side)
It seems like the fan is not pulling air thru the core but from the sides. How close should the fan be to the core to pull air thru the core? |

Re: Electric Fan distance from core
Most electric fan setup have the fan housing mounted right to the core.. The fan is a close as possible with out contacting the core.

Re: Electric Fan distance from core
If moving it closer doesn't help, you'll probably need a shroud (which isn't a bad idea anyway).

Re: Electric Fan distance from core
With a shroud you need to have at least 1/2 inch between the core and fan, any closer and it will not pull air from outside the fan area. If you mount a fan with out a shroud, you will only pull air at the fan and the rest of the radiator has no air being pulled thru.
If you are using a electric fan use a shroud ! |
