    Why would you want one? If you think you will be taking less power from the motor to drive it electrically, you're mistaken. It will take the same amount of energy to drive it whether it's driven mechanically or electrically. It's just that electrically, the power needs to be made by the alternator, which ironically, is driven mechanically.
    So there is no advantage to using a electric water pump either? Besides I am wanting to use it to clean up the engine compartment also.In combination with a electric water pump,I will only have the alt belt strapped to the front of the block.
