Overfilled my washer fluid...

Something terrible happened today. I overfilled my windshield washer fluid, and it got all over the engine and my garage floor.


Should I :
A) Lick it up
B) Have my dog lick it up
C) Pump it into my Chargepipe ?

Please comment!

You messed up when you used the sponge, contamination takes away fire breathing.

It's like a zero sum game. Serious buisness.

yanno, if you'd rather breathe fire than make sure your blinker fluid doesn't get low, more power to ya. I'd support you to the fullest...after all, it's your car.

On a serious note that damn little black reservoir takes the fuild down so slowly it is hard to get a steady pour without spilling haha

We know C could raise the horsepower. If you go with option A, you could harness that power for yourself. Definitely go with option A.

Haha windshield washer fill-up is painful. Especially when you start off with a new gallon of fluid.. Just drink the first 1/4 gallon it will make it easier to fillup your reservoir

You guys don't use the old "transfer windshield washer fluid to plant watering can first" trick? Whatever's left, I use to water my driveway...

Haha no because my luck is that I would leave it in the watering can, and the wife would kill her plants... Then blame me of course.

Nope but I've used it as a coolant to cut through concrete and steel in a pinch.
