Well, I should hope that he put the fluid in the right container ...... after all, the cap for it has a nice imprint picture on it.

If he put the windshield washer fluid in the radiator reservoir by mistake, we should recommend that he do no more DIY work on his car.

Hey, you related to @Scrappydoo ......

He determined that pineapples are not, in fact, apples. Nor are they related to pine trees. The research staff were probably confused on how he kept getting past security and into the building.

I am not sure if this will work or not but possibly worth a shot. Open the lid to the tank. Disconnect the line at the joint on the fender. Gently blow some air back through the line. Provided that there is not a check somewhere in the system this should back flush any clogs in the pump in the line. Could possibly work. Once again never tried it before myself so do so at your own risk.

Yup I did top off the washer fluid in the correct container (that much I know how to do). Thanks guys, I'll try out other methods that were suggested here!

The local hekikai no said that he had a special pineapple dust that would cure me. He was wrong!

They sent me back to the mainland for treatment and restricted my visits to once per year......

Does anyone know the part number for the plastic sprayer nozzle? Also what is the proper way to remove it? I thought I'd ask before I bust out the needle nose and rip that sob out.
