Additional Engine Cooling System

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Good morning:

There has been a spray water cooling system out for years called the
"desert spray." Then there are those misting systems one can purchase to
cool down a patio area in hot hot areas of the country.

It is one of those that i bought at walmart, consisting of spray knozles
and pvc tubing. These could be adapted very easily to assist a "cool down"
and a finer spray as well. Which is preferable as each droplet of water
removes, what, 20 or more times it's weight in radiated heat.

Just a thought.

I am surprised that PT owners don't have an air scoop made for the radiator
area. 3 inches wide, 3 inches of scoop and how ever long the out side rear
of the grill is on the drivers side. This would break up the boiling air
flow in that area and force more air over the rad core for cooling. Could
be painted to match the Coach or made of stainless and left bright. And 3
inches high will not protrude that much.

Safe travels,
