windsheild fluid sprayer

[james accordino]

Someone may correct me, but I don't believe there's
any kind of seal or other "mechanism" inside the
washer nozzles.  I think that's what the check valve
is for.  Otherwise all the fluid in the lines would
drain back into the tank.  They're just an open hole,
so 120psi shouldn't hurt anything.  I've blown them
out with this kind of pressure before.  Also soaked
them in hot white vinegar.  Then they work O.K. for a
yr. or two.
