Why not fit a thermostatic switch in the top tank or hose to control the
fan. Kicking in at ca. 200 -210°F and kicking out at about 185°F should
do the trick. Use an adaptor with to accommodate the majority of thermal
switches, in EU it is M22 if I remember correctly. There are thousands
of them to choose from.
Keep the manual override switch though.
