Yup. I do like the idea of a stainless steel fuel line or maybe a rubber fuel line encapsulated inside a stainless steel braided line .

Water temp should be judged at highest temp location, fan control from an same area-----like top of intake and or thermostat housing. That water pump fitting is for an return from heater core hose. The location of a fan sensor in the coolest part of the system will be inaccurate, and any relays/switches that are connected to it will be in reverse pattern to normal system --------

However---------you could make it work if you used some switches/relays set up around ambient air temps to run fans when water was a few degrees above that. It just isn't the most effient/logical way to do it--

zippi, if there was a way to get you to stop thinking about using rubber in the fuel system, I'd be all about it. The other problem with rubber is that the pump fuels we have to run nowadays has ethyl alcohol in it, which will disentegrate rubber on the inside of the hose, permitting these small pieces of rubber shrapnel to enter the fuel pump and carburetor bowl and clog up any damned thing they come in contact with. Stainless braided uses a teflon core.

All stainless it is. I'll visit my local pep boys and see what they have and what fitting I'll need.
