Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
I found a puddle of windshield washer fluid under the rear of the front passenger side fender and another in front of the rear wheel. Sure enough the windshield washer tank has small split along the blow molding pinch seam at the bottom where the tank rests on its support. This is a common weak area on these tanks.
When I had it out once before nearly six years ago I used silicone to attach a small plate hoping it would spread the load of a full tank over a larger area of the tank bottom.
I will experiment on this tank to see if I can reseal it. They are made from polyethylene so apart from welding it there are not too many adhesives to fix it.
PE and polypropylene (PP) being two plastics that are resistant to anything bonding to them. Containers made from these materials can contain fluids that would dissolve other plastics, this property prevents adhesives from bonding to them.
A new tank is on order, so I shall drive the car without a tank in it.
After some experimentation I found that Gorilla Super Glue adhered to the polyethylene far better than anything else I had including other instant glues. I wonder if this would remain waterproof if I tried it?
