Washer Bottle Outside Engine Bay? (1 Viewer)

Has anyone done this? Does that bottle pump have enough giddyap to pump the water a few more feet?

Why would you?

Well, if you've got the engine bay jammed up and need a spot for two oil filters, it seems more prudent and less costly to kick the already-relocated washer bottle out than run superlong hoses to the oil filter setup...

I mean, it pumps all the way to the rear window just fine...so another few feet isn't gonna matter

Ah, great, thanks. Never had it apart and wasn't sure whether there was an inline booster pump somewhere along the route...

not sure if it's helpful at all, but the FJ80 washer bottle is (partially) located inside the driver side fender.

60 series has a washer fluid "bag" that hangs in the rear quarter panel - maybe adapt something from this?

I've seen a 20litre water jerry can adapted and mounted in the rear of an 80, with a large volume pump, and spray nozzles mounted on the wiper arm.

It was set up for high speed offroad racing, and the needed to clear mud off windshield FAST!
