What do those with "Fan" experience say about preventing this kind of problem? 
Will a diode in the right place prevent these little dynamos from blowing fuses and disrupting the engine?
Lynn, How would you do in a race car?

ps.  Rusty, with all the problems and absent MAP hose,  Wasn't it great to run it up?
