I'm here, taking a break from making stage prop weapons. I dunno about the evap thing. i have noticed wiper fluid going slushy and even freezing to windscreen in low temps (-20 C). I could be convinced of alcohol evap on windscreen, I'm not so sure about the nozzles. Maybe the nozzles get "contaminated" by melted ice and thus reducing antifreeze conc. But as i said, I'm eye deep in middle earth goblin axes :) alistair On 25-Nov-10, at 3:20 PM, miguel pacheco wrote: Where's Alistair when he's needed? Cuz that's a can of worms for sure. I have a problem envisioning a significant (if any) amount of alcohol evaporating through those two tiny nozzles, unless you were to leave the liquid in there for a year or more. At that point it could have escaped through the porous plastic reservoir, but say it somehow was proven to be true, wouldn't the installation of a simple w/washer check valve resolve this issue? (insert happy face here so I don't get in trouble) Miguel
