You know this is why I hate email and sometimes posting in forums. My panties are not in a twist and I took no offense to the information being passed. Amused at why 12V is the voltage of choice but I respect that. I'm always grateful for ANY information that I get and I consider it honorable that so many people are willing to share. I have always thanked the people in my posts as I did somewhere above and I will say it again with no malice, ill will or aimed attitude at anyone. I apologize for coming across that way but once again, text rarely translates the true feelings of the person typing.

Thanks again, this post and my gas smell are a success in my eyes and I really appreciate everyones contributions.

HA!!! I admitted that my panties were not in a twist. After reading that it implies that I wear panties!!!! Oh well I guess it could be worse saying I'm going commando.

I know..... .57 was exactly (or near) what I was wanting because I don't think the original fan push was much either. I bet I don't even hear it. Yes, getting from 12V to 5V is super simple and yes I checked my favorite place (Digi-key) and no I did not like the 12V blowers I saw. To much flow, larger and I would bet noiser.

For the record, with everything in place except the tiny blower, I filled her up. Ran it through the tests... (Left turn sharp, left turn sweeper and hard aceleration and stops and guess what? Not one wiff of gasoline.

Man I don't get this 12V thing. taking a device that runs 4-5 volts from 12V is nothing more than a tiny voltage regulator. There's a zillion sizes, types and brands. Oh well, to each their own.

No need to get your panties in a twist. Sounds like you are going into this with eyes wide open and have considered your specifications. We are simply trying to offer some advice and point out possible pit-falls later you could run into. There are many ways to skin a cat and you are certainly correct that a simple voltage regulator would allow you to run that fan off of a 12 Volt source. Please let us know how things turn out.

Too late, we all know you wear panties now.

I get that. Text is pretty flat and it takes a lot more of it to convey ones true feelings/tone than a simple face to face conversation. I certainly share your sentiments regarding the appreciation of everyone's contributions.

So you're not gonna deny that you wear panties eh? Glad to hear of your success no matter your choice of undergarments! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
