Default Where does this go?

OK I know this is lame - no pic - but while messing with the battery yesterday I realized I there is a clear tube that it attached to a nipple on the driver, above the battery close to the small washer fluid reservoir. But it goes to nowhere? Is this for the battery vent? washer system? I didn't see anything obvious an dcouldn't find anything looking in parts diagrams....

thanks-

That must hurt.
When you let your wife drive the car please post a picture of this set-up

It needs to be attached to the battery on the appropriate slot to flush the acid in case of boiling batteries.

Hey I knew I might be covering a sticky topic when I mentioned the word nipple LOL.
Of course I really left the door open by omitting the word "side"

I'll get a pic tonight just to be sure.

OK here's the hose - hopefully somebody can confirm where the "clear" tube that starts towards the top of the reservoir goes - thanks.

Sorry it's not more exciting

It goes into the slot of the battery to capture acid vapours (provided your battery has such a slot).
