Re: windshield washer overpressure T valve 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Simon Eng (now working in China and not driving) on  Tue Dec 5 01:08 CST 2000 [RELATED]

This "T" connector is actually a check valve in disguise. Fluid comes in from the bottom of this "T." The sides of the "T" are connected to the two nozzles on the left and right of the hood.

This check valve prevents fluid from gravity flow into the reservoir, so that there is instantaneous spray when the pump is activated....no waiting.

I used a regular hardware store tubing "T" and there is no problem in getting windshield fluid. It takes another 0.9578 second more.
