Soundboard Cleaning (OT)

[Cy Shuster]

Years ago, I had a Porsche 914 with the same setup: a hose went from the
spare (in the *front* trunk) to the washer fluid reservoir (and a hose
containing fluid went from there, up the steering column to the mechanical
valve, and on to the spray nozzles.  When this broke, the fluid spilled into
my lap!).  A valve on the spare was supposed to prevent loss of more than 29
psi.

Once when I rotated the tires, the guy had big trouble trying to balance one
of them.  He could balance it at rest, but when he spun it up, it would
always wobble.  The problem: washer fluid inside the tire!
