After a long, hot, run, I'll turn my fans on after turning off the ignition. The heat from the block is absorbed into my carb and sometimes caused the fuel to boil. By circulating air under the hood (pushing air thru the compartment) it helps to prevent this problem. This is also happens if/when I stop for gas during a long, hot run. I only run the fan for maybe 5 to 10 minutes, or during the length of time it takes to fill her up. Many times, I click the fans on about 1/4 mile from home just to add in this shutdown cooling.
