Maybe I should add a filter. I'm thinking a 1 micron spin on filter for the washer fluid should do the trick.

Not sure a filter alone would work. You may want to run a reverse osmosis set up to keep the fluid properly cleaned. haha

I also planed on a bypass filter and have a blackstone kit I'll fill with washer fluid for testing.

I know lots about rain being in FL. The rain X washer fluid works good and helps even with heavy downpours. I also change my blades twice a year as they start streaking after 7 months. When the sprayer clogs just use a sewing needle.

*ahem*

DEF.
Cat.

Luckily, WE dont have to.

But the new diesel guys do filter exhaust.

However, in a perfect world, I would like to see all vehicles, cars and trucks, running on diesel and using DEF. I believe in a clean environment and diesel. Its a big pill to swallow but thats the way I want it to be. The new diesel trucks using DEF emit less toxic gasses than the most up to date gasoline vehicles*.

I just fixed mine the other day. It's easy, but tedious. just have to pull the drivers cowl off (3-4 screws, 4 push holder things)...then use a garden hose sprayer nozzle to backflush it.

before was a slight "dribble"....perfect spray pattern now
