Getting ready to switch out bumpers and I have to relocate my waser fluid bottle.
Where EXACTLY do I put it? and what if any parts do I need? OR Should I just buy the kit from $G or another supplier.
Thanks

I took a few hints from Greg Davis, in my design.
I bought one of the generic coolant expansion tanks from the local auto parts store, attached it's metal cage to my coolant tank with a large pipe clamp, and a couple of zip-ties. I then ran a tube from it, back over to the space behind the driver's side headlamp, where I mounted the washer fluid pumps (since the tubes and wires for the pumps terminate in that area), and everything works fine. |

Erik,
I'm in the same situation. Did you somehow connect the tube to the individual pumps? The pumps are normally mounted to the tank, so did you make up some sort of adapter to attach the tubing to the pump?

Yes, I used a couple of different size tubes. One to connect to the tank nipple, then a 'T', and a couple of adapters to allow me to use a tube that would simply slide over the pump intake ports. I then clamped these all down. |

There ya go! I mounted my pumps in the new tank, but Erik's method will work as well. |
