Don't know how many amps electric fuel pump draws so don't know how far a DeLo would make it. Electric radiator fans would kill it for sure (even at highway speeds air flow alone doesn't seem adequate to cool mine -- lost electricity to one fan once and ran water temp higher than normal). Guess car pushes air out of way rather than routing through radiator. Has anyone ever tried to limp home without fans?
