I doubt you will have any problems with it. Fuse the fan with a 20 amp
in-line fuse and it will be ok.
I have been running an electric fan and fuel pump on my red Spit fir
several years and the alternator only puts out less than 30 amps.

Subject: Electric fans & amperage
Since I'm in the middle of a bout of Shipwrights, I am adding an
electric
fan to help keep my soon to be warmed over head cool. However, when I
was
looking at some of the options at JEGS, I noticed that some of the 16"
fans
drew a fair amount of current. I have changed my alternator over to a
Bosch
unit that puts out 55 amps or so, but is a fan that draws 13-17 amps an
issue I should be worried about?
TIA,
