Electric VS standard fan

If your radiator is old, it may not be working very well. Ditto for your water pump.

As mentioned, an electric fan creates a pretty major load on the electrical system. Also, a lot of electric fans don't move nearly the air that a flex fan does. Do you have room for a puller on the front?

If your car is an auto, moving to a separate tranny cooler may help some also.

Remember, water cools better than antifreeze, so maybe running less glycol in the summer would help too.

if that be true, then why would the boiling point of a mixture be higher than water only?

As far as the plastic fans - they make great toys for kids to play with.
