2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission washer bottle sprung a leak

It looks that it was already glued... . So I guess I have to part with $53 for a new one. It looks like upper ratiator hose removal is needed, then it will come right out. Right?

Depending on where the leak is you might be able to fix it. Try using a soldering iron to melt it closed.

Don't need to remove the upper hose either.

I fixed mine with a plasic welder. I had tried several other methods to no avail. BAD BOB

My 96 3500 started leaking about 1/3 from the bottom. I used a soldering iron along with some cheap plastic knives to patch it. After 2 years it started leaking again.

Mine started leaking late last winter. Repaired it by melting a little HDPE with a propane torch. But it didn't last. Replaced it last month with one from a wrecking yard I picked up for $15.



And I did remove the upper radiator hose to get it out. It may be possible to remove it without removing the hose, but removing the hose is easy.

My '93 had a crack in the washer jug... tried marine RTV, welding plastic, but none worked. Ended up cleaning, puting plastice electric tape and covering w/ duct tape... been working for over a year leak free. Oo.

I picked up one without a float for $4 at the junkyard. I twisted the float in mine and the leak seamed to stop (for now) and if it starts again I will swap them out. I don't need a float...
