Continuous EWP

®

 operation may be required for some road or race engine 

applications, in some very hot climatic conditions and engines fitted with liquid 

petroleum/butane gas (LPG) conversion. 

 

This option will provide maximum flow from your EWP

®

 under all operating conditions 

without a Digital Controller or a Thermatic Switch fitted. Should you choose this 

method you should retain the engine thermostat and drill one or two holes (suggest 

5mm) in the plate to allow some coolant flow when the thermostat is closed.
