What sort of flow rates (cfm) are these leaves rated at? I think I've seen some at ECS...

Blinker fluid is proven to have a higher specific heat capacity than water...sound science to me!

Default I drive for a couple of miles. I'm always popping the hood now too. It releases the dry heat and ...
reduces the possibility of hoses getting brittle. I also have an after-run pump sensor. The secondary fan pushes coolant through the motor until the engine temp drops to a specific temp.
