Fer gawds sakes man, you prime it with water, then pump unitl you get
windshield washer fluid., No problem with freezing in the hoses then. On
the windsceen, it might be another matter, but hey, just scrape it off with
your handy ice scraper. No big deal.Me, I'm not going to take a mouthfull
of windhsield washer fluid, blech!
btw for those of you new to winter climes, you can use COLD water to de ice
your windshield in the morning, but don't use hot, or you'll be calling you
local parts supplier for new glass.
