Will;
If your turn off all electrical appliaces in your car, like the microwave,
toaster, computer, fridge, radio, etc, AND it's daytime using no lighting,
all you will need to power is the ignition, which takes very little. If you
only need to power the ignition, and your battery is in good shape, fully
charged, you can certainly go hundreds of miles.
BTW, my Ford powered F2 three wheeler is water cooled, but with no water pump.
It's a thermosyphon system. There are advantages to primative systems.
