So I looked into taking out the tank, and when directly underneath it, I see one bolt but I cannot determine if there is another (perhaps on the side or what not). For those of you who have taken the tank out, can anyone confirm that there is or is not just one bolt to take off?

Also, there was a little pink sponge in the washer fluid tank as well. I took this out (as it smelled rotten). Not sure if this was the cause, but was wondering if anyone else has this in your tank.

 

I am seeing 3 bolts here's a pic...

 

Did you have to take off your bumper to remove?

 

I didn't take the bumper off but I don't have the oem bumper either , nor do I have any of the splash guards on the bottom front end.

 

I see. There is not much room to work with in order to take the tank off, and I'm not about to start taking my bumper off.

 

The pink sponge thing is just there to let you know when the tank is full.

It's also really, really easy to take the bumper off if you end up needing to. I have to imagine that you should be able to drop the tank through the bottom without pulling the bumper, though.

 

i have the same problem except mine smells like the actual fluid cleaner and what not, i use rain-x.

 

yeah taking off the bumper is really quick like under 5 minutes. shouldn't be too hard but then again i have zipties and little twisty-ties holding my bumper on so that probably would do it lol

rain-x fluid is all i ever use unless i take it to a shop and they fill it up w/ whatever crap they have...

 

Can't you only take the splash guard off to do this?

 

I'd think so, I really doubt removing the bumper is needed to remove it, I think 2-3 of the splash guards would set you up with plenty of room...

 

I do not want to do this either.

 

I am just going to flush it out with water and soap or something.

 

Don't use soap in there, it'll likely gum up the pump.

 

Awesome. Should I just use water and keep flushing?

 

White vinegar. It'll kill anything that's growing and also deodorize.
