Abstract
A cooling system for use in association with an engine encased within an engine compartment, having a remotely positioned cooling fan and radiator. The cooling system includes a containment member operably positioned within the engine compartment. The containment member includes an exposure opening which defines a cavity. The cooling system likewise includes a conduit associated with the containment member. The conduit includes a first end placed in fluid communication with the cavity and a second end extending outside of the engine compartment which is placed in fluid communication with the cooling fan. Circulation of the fan directs the passage of fluid from within the cavity and the conduit.
