Windshield Washer Pump & Tank Replacement?
I am replacing my windshield washer pump & fluid tank in my 1971 F250 300 4.9L. This setup has the pump mounted inside the bottom of the fluid tank. The pump has a rubber mounted on the end that seals to the tank material.
I have seen on the Web & U-tube that some have had trouble with the seal leaking fluid after the installation. Should the rubber be lubed before installation? What type of lube? Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I just installed a reproduction tank. I always use dielectric grease on stuff like that.
This is the tank I used in my 69 F250, but it looks like the 71 maybe different?

AAubinoe - Thanks for the idea on the dielectric grease. The 71-72 tank is not the same, bit more square in shape. DC is out of stock for the 71, may have to get it from LMC.
