[s-cars] Water injection.

[Robert Pastore]

The intensive tank is small, maybe 1 liter, and fits in the cowl on the
passenger side.
Retrofitting the tank, pump, bracket, and lines is very straightforward.
How you wire it is up to you, but if it's a supplemental tank for water
injection, I'd just suggest splicing an additional harnesss to the normal
washer pump, and run the WI off the main tank. You can even use the lower
fluid signal from the main tank to run the pump in the intensive tank and
refill the main tank from it.   Trying to change out the column stalk and
harness to run the intensive system separately seemed like too much work to
me.

Sure can use the same tank, as long as you can stand to spray whatever
you are using on both the windshield and on/in the induction system  :-)

I've only seen the one on my '93 V8 Quattro.  The intensive spray tank
was maybe one liter, right over the regular washer tank.  The regular
washer tank was huge, and had a long neck so the filler was right up next
to the intensive tank filler.  I'd bet the regular washer tank, which
served both the windshield wipers and the headlight wipers, was at least
6 or 7 liters.  I remember putting most of two 1 gallon bottles of washer
fluid into it.

Cheers,
