Additional Engine Cooling System

[Curt Sprenger]

Sorry, I'm starting a new thread for developing a cooling system.

Ah, Randy...You got me thinking here...

Let's say we are gaining in altitude and the duration of the climb is 15
minutes. The engine temp. climbs above normal. IF, the hose from shower
system is in ready to operator mode, what volume of water would be used
to maintain the engine temperature close to normal?

This might be a system to build, plumb it in the cold water line,
control it at the dash. Do a neat job with all plumbing out of sight.
Jim Hutchings has a similar set up on his bus.
