Looking for a water pump Cooling Fan to suit your Diesel Petrol or Gas engine or motor..
There are 2 different types of water pump or cooling fans , Pullers or Blowers.
PULLER fan is normally used when the engine is located at the front of its application. like in a motor vehicles , tractors, four wheel drive , generators and so many more applications. The fan is designed to pull or suck the cool air into radiator. The faster the vehicle goes or the higher the engine revs the cooler it gets. That is why it is advisable at high speeds and high engine revs you need to get a hydrostatic , Viscous or electric fan. You will see these fans more in modern motor vehicles , trucks and race engines.
BLOWER fan is normally used when the engine is located at the rear of its application like in a rear mounted loader, it is designed to suck the cool air past the engine blow the cooler air through the radiator.
SIZE you will need to know the area of the radiator. The fan should cover more than 3/4 of the radiator core for maximum cooling efficiency. The more it covers the cooler the engine and radiator will get.
PCD Pitch Circle Diameter is the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the studs . your cooling fan is normally mounted on the water pump or a mounted bearing HUB. if you have a electrical fan this doesn’t matter
in my next blog i will list the different fan sizes and dimensions available.

Free Smoke Test
We do get asked a lot about what does this colour smoke means.
So we put together our smoke analyser
Why does my Diesel engine blow black smoke?
Black Smoke: It indicates poor and incomplete combustion of the diesel fuel.
- – Block air filter or intake system
- – Problem with fuel injector pump or injectors
- – Engine timing out
- – Low cylinder compression (i.e. cylinders, piston rings, ring grooves)
- – Restricted induction system
- – Excessive carbon build-up in combustion and exhaust spaces
- – Incorrect valve clearance
Why does my diesel engine blow blue smoke?
Blue Smoke: is an indication of oil being burnt.
- – Low cylinder compression (i.e. cylinders, piston rings, ring grooves)
- – Worn oil rings – sticky oil rings when cold.
- – Worn valve guides or seals
- – Cylinder head pooling oil, valve oil drains blocked /sludge and poor PVC valve, similar to valve stem seal problem – called the “sludging” issue. A common issue on later model engines past 2003
- – Cylinder glazed
- – An incorrect grade of oil (e.g. oil too thin, and migrating past the rings)
- – Fuel dilution in the oil (oil thinned out with diesel)
- – High engine oil level
Why does my diesel engine blow white smoke?
White Smoke: occurs when raw diesel comes through the exhaust completely intact and unburned
- – Faulty glow plugs
- – Low engine cranking speed
- – Problem with fuel injector pump or injectors
- – Incorrect injection timing (could be a worn timing gear or damaged crankshaft keyway).
- – Fuel air leak
- – Low cylinder compression (i.e. cylinders, piston rings, ring grooves)
- – Incorrect valve clearance
We can also help to provide you with oil analyses too.
