I picked up an inline fan from boating store at a marina. I think it's
original purpose is to pump fumes out of gas tanks before you start your
boats engine. Diameter is 4" and it draws 3.8 amps. They hooked it up to a
battery and I was impressed with the performance. It's also relatively
quiet. Also, it only cost $19.75! JC Whitney's is $70 and I heard it's not
too good. (The idea of getting the fan from a boating store came from
someone on this list, but I can't remember who.)

I have not yet had a chance to install it on my 75 bus, but will do so as
soon as it get's a bit warmer (wish I had a garage!).
