The manual belt fan consumes lot of horsepower. So the fuel ecnomy goes down andyou can hear the fan noise in the manual belt fan. On the other hand, the electric cooling fan is more powerful and helps in imporving the horse power and fuel economy. You dont generally hear fan noise in the electric cooling fan.
