After reading that someones electric cooling fan used 10 amps i had to look for a lower amp option. For the Flex-A-Lite brand, the amperage's vary from 28 amps to 5.2 amps. They have one 5.2 amp fan and one 7.7 amp.
A 9 or ten amp electric fan is the small size, a lot of them draw around 20 amps.
It appears Volkswagen has used the same fan in its diesel and gas 4 cylinder motors.
If my current electric fan dies, i will look for a lower amp fan.
