havent looked at a vanagon radiator but most are not a single tube wrapping around but several tubes coming from a head and going to the foot. most radiators actually have more flow capability in the small tubes than in the main ports feeding them. BTW on a part that stated using straight coolant, dont. two of the leading manufacturers of coolants both point out that the density of straight coolant is a bad load on the system and that water is needed to properly activate the water pump lubricants in their products. jimt On Wednesday, Oct 2, 2002, at 00:21 America/Denver, Damon Campbell wrote: > you'd wan't to look more at the volume of liquid it is passing through > it, rather than the overall size...
