Here you go ccoco, just click on the image below and it'll take you to the Ebay item you're talking about:Click image for link When I was searching the link I ran into the guy's store and it looks like he has the same item listed twice for slightly different prices, here's a link to that page. That looks like a very nice item at a decent price. If you need help in the future posting something you can click on my handle and send me a PM, that applies to everybody. Rich

Amps = watts divided by volts So 80W divided by 12 = 6.66 amps! Am I missing something If not that will drain your battery in no time. The OEMs are usually 33W? Alleyoop

trike rechecked amp on blue fan it is only pulling .34 amps you are not subtracting the resistence of the air hittig the gas tank whick lowers the electro motive force of the motor fan can't cut enough air when blocked ,, same as blower motor on home a/c if you hold your hand in front of the discharge the more you cut the air down the less amps it loads

Ok, whatever its your battery. What is the point of blocking the air to the fan I do not think that is a smart move. After all you are trying to get as much air as possible to cool the radiator down or motor whatever your trying to cool. Thats the whole point of getting a good fan, not get a good fan and then go and block the air from it . Alleyoop

I see what your saying now c coco, .33 amps rather than 33 amps. That makes sense because I used a 12v fan from Silicone Intakes that was really stout and it pulled about 2 amps. We had some guys asking about amp draw from your other post with the picture. I'll link that to this thread so they can read your thoughts. Rich.
