Blow Or Suck? Radiator Fan Question...

[Willis]

Just a quick one, can anybody tell me if the standard 197/200 radiator fan is a blow or suck fan? Also, what diameter is it?

Cheers,

Will

I may just be thinking about this too much..
But doesn't a fan do both haha?!

Yes, blows from one side and sucks from the other

Spot on haha love it

but anyhoo radiator fans usually suck through the radiator, bringing cool air into the engine bayp

So essentially.. They are blowing air into the the engine bay ??

Technically yes but wouldn't go sticking your hand in to find out haha, if it worked the other way the hot air from the engine would warm the cooling system, and that just ain't right haha
