Washer tank with dual batteries.

[75MIKE]

Would you guys that have a dual battery set-ups please post a picture of how you ended up mounting your washer tank?

Perfect world would be a dual coolant/washer fluid reservoir that mounted on top of the fender , but no joy searching for one. Thanks

Windshield washer/coolant overflow combo?

This might work but it describes it as mounting at washer location. Would need an alternate location.

Thanks, problem is that mounts where the extra battery is. Need a combo to replace the radiator overflow tank would be the ticket.

It could work with a smaller battery, but it's still pretty big.
I put my second battery there too, and used a junkyard washer bottle and pump from an import pickup back up on the firewall on the driver's side.
Don't have any pics at the moment, but it was easy to re-route the wiring and the plumbing and it worked great for many years.

In fact, as you'd expect the old import pump was even more powerful than the somewhat anemic Ford washer pump.

I noticed in a picture just the other day (and again saw it today here on the forum) that someone had an empty slider bracket mounted right there on the front of the driver's wheel well. I wondered if it was for an alternate reservoir.
I'm pretty sure all the different versions of Bronco reservoirs bolted straight to the wheel well, but the ones I like have a bolt-on bracket, and the reservoir slides over the bracket.

Good luck.

I thought so... The slide-on bracket I saw was in the pics that PaulN posted up of his engine compartment in the thread about the engine running, then dying.

A lot of modern cars put the tank in the wheel well or down low in front of the front wheel with a long neck.
Maybe you could mount one of those under that second battery with a neck coming up. Even cut the neck off of the new /junkyard one and hose clamp/glue a hose to it to route it where you want and then glue the top part of the filler neck on the end.

Thanks Fella's.

I've wanted to do that modern tank thing too. Fit the washer to one side where the horn is and the recovery to the other side below the battery.
Or even up under the front of the wheel wells where we put some of the EVAP canisters.

We should come up with our own molded tank. I think most of the ones I've seen in junkyards are slim and very tall in a vertical sense, to fit into the deep but narrow confines.
Ours would need to be kind of squat and triangle/pear shaped. If anyone finds one like that, grab it and try it!

I bought this and mounted right next to my brake booster.

Here is another way to do it, with the early style wiper fluid bag, the pump is mounted under the battery tray...

That looks like something I could get to work. The bag is a great idea, as well. Thank you

I don't have dual batteries but wanted it hidden the most I reasonably could

 

[75MIKE]

Great looking engine compartment. That is well hidden although I have some Durospark and the rear end wiring harnesses to contend with.

KBUCK1 - Is that a stock 68-70 washer tank, just relocated? Looks great!

Yes. Just moved it to the back side of the fender

I've had the same dilemma since installing a cold air intake in the original battery location. I like the one that Smedley put in. Thanks for the share....just ordered one. Cheers, B2

I thought a bunch of guys were mounting a bigger battery tray on the passengers side and mounting both battery's there. simplify's the wiring.

I came looking for wiper reservoir ideas, but really dig the Moroso power steering reservoir you've got. Got a part number, or vehicle? I'm looking at the Moroso website and it appears that it might be discontinued?

WOW. That is so clean.
