Newbie Issues...Engine Bay Cool Down Methods

[Leroy Eckert]

Ron:
That is a great idea. Reverse the air flow.
Some procedures I personally use.
I never run a genset when entering a park unless it is paved or grass. Otherwise
all that dust gets into the genset induction filter, radiator and the main
engine radiator. If the site is paved or grass I place the engine fan in
override until parked. This procedure provides massive amounts of air over the
engine while in the process of parking. Just little simple things that have
worked for me.

A few of us here in Texas have installed 12V electric radiator fans on
the passenger side of the engine compartment, blowing back over the
engine and through the radiator to aid in the cooldown of that area.
It really helps a lot. I installed a switch next to the fan that I
turn on when I shut the engine off. I let it run for 15 to 30 minutes
after shutdown.
