Strange Window Washer Operation

Hey guys...so either these trucks have a super small window wash resoviar or there is something wrong with my truck. Window washer works just fine and then stops. The washer motor is still working but nothing coming out. I fill it up to the top again and suddenly it works just fine. The thing is that when I fill it up it only takes between 1 and 2 quarts of water. I'd imagine the resoviar probably holds close to a gallon so not sure why mine quits working and then is full after 1 to 2 quarts of water is added. Anyone else else experience this? Perhaps the pickup tube in mine is bent or something? No light or message on the dash...it just stops.

Could be trash blocking the intake, and topping it off stirs it up enough to clear it until it clogs again. It is a simple matter to remove the tank and pump to either clean it out or replace the pump.
