So it turns out that the Valtera 4" fan is not powerfull enough to move air through the vac hose... bummer. But I have an old 9" spal fan that is too big BUT I removed the plastic housing, and the 9" fan blade, and installed the valterra 4" fan on the spal motor. That moves plenty of air, but the fan is cheap and a blade broke after some fiddling with it.
So I have ordered new fan blades from Grainger (a 3.5" and a 4") metal.
The only good thing about the valterra motor is it came with 2 thermostats that operate after 100 degrees F. They literaly can be taped to the ABS module, and turn on the current when it gets warm. I will likely use a relay to reduce the load on the thermostat.
