Chilly Diesel Problems

. .. "JoeSpareBedroom" wrote in message news  Here's something to invent: Windshield washer that doesn't freeze, with the vehicle just sitting in the driveway. I've lived here 25 years and never had this problem until now. 3 weeks back, I had to drain the entire tank of whatever crap the mechanic put in it. Went & bought some other crap, which worked for a day when the temp was in the high 20s. This week, frozen again. Two different brands! Next, the fancy pink stuff from Armorall or whoever makes it. I was just reading about this in another NG. Apparently ( I never noticed this ) there is a "summer" windshield washer fluid that looks just like the winter stuff (same blue color) but is only good to 32 degrees. Maybe you got some of the wrong stuff. Eisboch The latest bottle says it's good to -25 F. !!! What a crock. And again, this is while standing still. No wind chill. |

Maybe I'll dump a bottle of 151 rum into the tank. |

The real question is, if you have a water fountain outside, will the water pressure be less, resulting in more lip to fountain contact in cold weather? Will the wind chill reduce the water pressure even more? |
