Ok cool. White vinegar and wtaer, or no water?

 

white vinegar to flush/disinfect and then water to clean it out after?

 

Probably full strength to make sure everything is dead.

 

Flushed out the fluid today on my way home from work, that **** smelled so bad. I filled the tank with some water, and then flushed it out again. I didn't get any white vinegar because I do not know where to get some at (the grocery store perhaps?) The tank is empty as of now.

 

Anywhere that sells food will sell vinegar...

 

haha that's great.

 

Not sure what is so great. I have never had to by vinegar, nor have I ever heard of a "white" vinegar for that matter; (read: in parenthesis was the assumption of where it could possibly be bought/found, i.e. "grocery store").

By the way, I have yet to do this. My tank is dry right now. Hopefully no more stink when I put fluid in there.

 

Vinegar is usually in either the condiments aisle (with the balsamic vinegars and olive oils) or some stores will keep some in the cleaning aisle. White vinegar is the clear vinegar, comes in gallon jugs, will be on the bottom shelf. You could always ask a store employee to help you Every grocery store has it.

 

Awesome, thanks. This white vinegar should be mixed with water to flush out the **** in the tank?

 

Eh, I'd just put it in straight and let it sit for a bit, give it time to kill stuff off, maybe drive some to slosh it around.

 

OK gotcha. Thanks again

 

hope that works parrish
(i added you on fuelly)

does anyone have problems with their wiper spray nozzles not spraying correctly?
or how easy are they to replace?

cause this thread has me thinking about the "age" of my car and maybe this problem might be causing mine to spray incorrectly, or the spray nozzle might just be facked up from using it during the really crappy winter we've been having..

 

^ Nice.

I have no problems with my nozzles, just the tank smelling like ****ing death.

 

Do what I did, replace them with the galant spray nozzles! Just picked them up yesterday from the dealer and replaced them after work today. They work 100 times better than my old ones. Gives you a nice spray pattern then I finish with my michelin wiper blades. Perfect.

This. Replacing the nozzles was one of the first things I did to my car when I bought it in 04. The Galant nozzles both spray better and won't rust since they're all plastic.
