  1. Well, I sat here and figured out how to heat the entire washer fluid tank using 330ohm resistors and wrapping it with thermal barrier. Temperature in the tank would be between body temp and hot coffee. But... continuously heating the tank would eventually remove the ethanol from the fluid mix. It would evaporate off early. And it wouldn't heat up very fast when cold.

     

    So I guess an "instant heat" device for 65 bucks would work better. I would wrap the washer fluid hoses with a thermal barrier.

     

    Or move South where it's not needed...

     

    edit: and oddly, I guess using plain water isn't a good idea: (Wiki)

     

     

    One more thing. The factory rigs spray out a fine mist. That would help prevent thermal cracking of the cold windshield from hitting it with a shot of hot fluid.

    Where are you getting ethanol wwf from, we use methanol in our mix as do all our competitors
