Default Relocate washer fluid res.

Pulled my washer reservoir when I installed the snorkel a few month's back. Now I'm missed having washer fluid. Where is a good place to relocate this too. I have a 2000 xj with the skinny reservoir the sits at the driver's side fender. Thank's ya'll.

You could get a tank from an earlier XJ. Then try to find a spot for it in the engine bay.

Can I reuse my stock tank? And what about the connections that go into it. Will they fit on a different year?

The lines for fluid should fit. The wiring, if it doesn't plug right in should just be two wires. Splice em in.

Your stock tank would work, I just doubt you'd find a place to fit it. It's oddly shaped iirc.

Older xjs have reservoir tanks inside the engine bay, u could get that and put it near passenger side of the bay, wire in the pumps and reroute the hoses.

This is what I did with my 99. I had to lengthen the wires for the pumps but that wasn't too hard. I just pulled the wires out of the loom and had them exit a little earlier then before.

Hay... When the wife says... "Ok, you can get a Jeep but you have to let me pick the colour." So, you do a test painting where people won't see it. Too bad she liked the colour and now I have to paint the rest of the jeep to match.

What year is that reservoir from, 94-96? I need to do this, a spray bottle isn't cutting it in this wintery weather.

Default Stock location sucks

It also sucks when one is installing fender flares. My buddy was helping me install some and I didn't think to warn him. His face when his drilling through the sheet metal was promptly followed by liquid gushing out was priceless. Any update on the multiple pump thing?
