Drying the x out

After reading a new members comments about our forum, I noticed he mentioned a rear wiper washer leak. He found the problem on this ,site. Well I just happened to dump 2 gallons of washer fluid in the cab of my truck also, so I checked that hose connections or elbow on the passenger side floor board and sure enough it had separated from the hose. Thanks for all the info. Now whats the fastest way to dry out your rig! (just kidding)

To properly dry out your truck, you hang it upside down and wait for all those little tiny droplets to fall out.

I learned this lesson at about the age of 15 or so when my buddy accidently set a couch on fire inside my buddies garage. Saw the blue jug and figured, sweet I can fix this, wrong! Pretty caustic smellin stuff when it burns lol. We got it put out quickly though and it didnt burn all crazy like you think it would if someone were to splash alcohol on an open fire.

Hook it up to the centrifuge (sp?) that they used in the F150 commercial.
