which i suppose is why a more modern car would have sensors in top & bottom tanks (as well as motor head and in the Intake) and would use all of that data to decide when to startup thermo fans, when to go easy on engine power output and (if it's smart enuf) shut down a cylinder or two and go into limp home mode when it works out you've lost most of your coolant.
back on topic: one has to decide if the fans are going to be triggered by engine+coolant temps (e.g. sensor in/at thermostat housing) or coolant temp alone (sensor in one of the tanks).
in my case it's the former, as by the time the bottom tank's too hot, the hole shebang is close to cooking - and partly dictated by available holes to plug in sensors:
-one fan (suck thru) is on 100% except v.cold
-second fan (blow thru) on at hot
-third fan (blow thru) on at hot and/or aircon enabled
i figure if that doesn't work, its too fuken hot to drive so i'll drink beers instead.
