Can you reverse the direction of an electric cooling fan on an engine radiator?
I recently purchased this forklift. It's an older Yale, don't know the model number. It has a small block chevy V8 in it that runs on propane that is not original. The engine is under the operator's seat and the radiator is behind the engine. There is an electric fan mounted behind the radiator that pull air from the front to the back. It runs hotter than it should, when idling, per the gauge it will get to 220 degrees and will boil a bit in the radiator when shut off at that temp. I'm thinking part of the problem is the direction of air flow through the radiator. The fan pulls air from the drivers feet area, over the warm engine compartment and then through the radiator. If the air was not being heated in the engine compartment before going through the radiator it should run a bit cooler.

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
