If so, I believe he has had issues with the fuel filter remaining too cold and like me, he's trying the rad blind to gauge effect on running and economy.

Since blocking the EGR I noticed a reduction of ~50c in EGT temps and a tendency for the engine to loose heat more quickly at cruising speeds.

He should see an economy increase just by removing the fan, as it really doesn't seem to be required for normal motoring on these engines.

Blocking the EGR is self explanatory, it stops soot being recycled in the airstream.
