I've been on the lookout for a water container and water pump set up for my waterspray for the Forester. An old water container was easy enough to find. The trick was getting the water from there to the TMIC. The design was to run a pump at the blue water container to ffed a small windscreen washer reservoir mounted at the front of the Forester. I cold have used the existing reservoir, but being an off road vehicle, I figured I'd need this reservoir for it's original purpose.
The trouble was trying to find a washer bottle with a 4mm inlet. My hopes of tracking down an HQ Holden one, which I believed did have a 4mm inlet, were dashed when i could not find any. I drilled a small hole in the top of the blue container, and this will act as a breather. A short length of hose and a small in line filter will keep dirt out and allow the container to breathe.
I then went hunting for a suitable washer pump, and a washer bottle as well. The bottle had to be the right shape, and not too big, I found an AU Falcon to have something that came pretty close, so I bought a bottle and pump, plus a second pump for the blue container.
Of course, the inlet was a lot more than 4mm- more like 17mm or something. So I drilled a hole and worked it to suit. Looks like there is place under the battery in the front wheel well. The blue container feeds the washer bottle. The idea is that the washer bottle will provide a quicker response while the blue container has the capacity to provide enough water for this application.
This is yet to be installed. So far, this is where it is at.
