Sometime before 1980 Porsche started offering headlight washers as an option. These washers required a great deal of fluid so they started installing the larger tanks in all 924's.

So that we can buy the headlight washer aftermarket and plumb it up to spray on our IC's...

I recently found my tank is falling apart. I want to replace it. How?

Do you really do that, 924RACR, and is coolant good for intercooler fins? I was thinking of mounting the sprayers on the rear bumper to spray tail-gaters.

Yes wiper sprayers..good for stress relief. On my long gone (RIP) Fiat 124 Sport Spyder I had the passenger side tilted up to spray over the windshield. It was good for cooling down the passenger on hot days when the roof was down. It always got the same response - "What the F?!!". Most effective at a stop light when there's a lull in the conversation. (for health reasons I used just water, no antifreeze)

Years later with the '78 Honda I had the passenger side nozzle turned to spray back sideways over and past the drivers' side. Again with just water it was occasionally utilized in the performing of various forms of frivolity. You know, the kind of stuff you'd get shot for nowadays... One time on the way back from lunch a co-worker wound up following me in his car. Some minor retartedness ensued, and he pulled a crazy a-holeish move to get in front of me. I remained calm and said don't get mad, get even. We made it to work, he parked and as he walked from the lot to the building I pulled up and called him over. Then of course you know the rest of the story - as soon as he was in range I switched on the washer and drenched him dead center on the chest. We were white shirt and tie wearing computer geeks at the time. Again the same response, "What the F?!!".
