so on this tank..filled up at gallows corner back here then next day run to Battlesbridge car show..it was a cold dull day 10/12c ish i guess...today I finished off my wind deflector of the truck to stop wind/air flowing through the rad at low temps..seems to have worked a bit..as today run the truck to southend in 15/14c temps and it barely made it to 180F from 40 mph but below 30 to about 20 it would warm up nicely but would cool down when you started to kiss 40 plus again..so all in all its a nice inprovement but not a great differance need it to be a min of 180F..maybe when it warms up..my guess 20c....
