P1000 Windshield Washer Pump and Reservoir

[Lapcinski]

Just got done installing a washer pump and tank! Red button is for the washer. Plastics tube is for filling.

I like where you mounted the fluid tank, how easy is it to fill?

Easy, because I ran a clear tube under the hood. Take a look at the picture. I use a funnel. Works great!

What tank did you use? I noticed it but doesn’t look like a big tube, lol.

Be careful with the Nozzle install, I ended up hitting the windshield and cracking it. Washer works great though. I live in Minnesota and bought the winter mix (washer fluid )and it works great in the snow!

Ok thanks. My windshield appears a bit different with 3" metal surrounding it. Guess that's where nozzle will go. I'M in Wisconsin summer and Arizona winters, and yes can be useful both places. Btw, I bought the two position wiper/washer switch also from Amazon to replace existing wiper single position there now.

I’ll be interested to see pictures when your done! Used mine today, I wish there was two wipers or at least the wiper was all the way in front of the driver.

Yep, will post pics when done. Agree 2 wipers would be great. Don't think it would be much of a problem to relocate existing and add another.

Here I thought you converted a windshield wiper reservoir into an in cab liquor dispenser. Silly me. 🍻

It's a done deal. Thanks for the idea. I did order from Amazon a wiper 2 way switch, but couldn't use it because my existing wiper switch is wired for "wiper return to home" which requires a much more elaborate switching system. I also needed to extend sprayer to clear windows gasket. Also didn't have much choice where to mount reservoir because my machine has an extra panel there for some reason.

Looks great and no crack in the windshield like mine😁

No windshield issues but had my own issues as mentioned. Hopefully your windshield won't have to be replaced. Thanks again for your great groundwork on this project.

Would the washer pump be strong enough to mount the tank under the seat?
Thanks
I'm still on the fence about a wiper on my flip up windshield.

 

[DenMachine]

Oh yes, I would think motorwouldhaveenough pressure. It is supplied with maybe 6 feet of hose. Not positive on the length, but I had 3 feet leftover. Btw it's designed for two sprayers. I only used one as only have one wiper.
