Converting the Washer Bottle to an Oil Expansion Bottle - Has anyone done this?

[oldbutnotslow]

Has anyone converted the washer bottle into an oil expansion bottle?

Having blocked off the hole for the washer pump I now I presume that you pass the inlet pipe into the bottle half way up and and outlet pipe to air from the top. Do I need to put anything inside the bottle sush as wire wool?

Is there anything else that I should do?

Good idea, I’d be interested to hear how you get on with this solution.

Empty the washer fluid out? 😬

😬 Strange I did not think of that!! 😬

AS I dont have a windscreen YBNS thought of converting it into a drinks dispenser for Driver & Passenger. Sounds like a plan to me but it will take a bit of skill to centre the jet of drink through the visor hole in your helmet and into your mouth! 😬

 

Edited to say that as I often put foot in mouth YBNS thought that I would have little difficulty!!

For a drinks dispenser get one of those camel packs & site it behind the seat. On really hot days put it in the fridge overnight.

 

As I have aero's I used to keep spare oil in the washer bottle whilst touring. I did wonder whether the pump would cope with the viscosity as I could then pump it straight into the engine. In the end I removed the pump & araldited a bung in the hole.
