tire rub disintegrates washer fluid fill pipe
Tried to top off my washer fluid tank yesterday, and it started leaking on the ground. It looks like tire rub from my very average-sized 6J x 15 tire has worn holes in the filler tube. Anyone else ever have this problem? Is it simply a case of the tube having slipped from where it should be, and if so, where should it be? Anything special to know about replacing it? Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem, only my 17" tires wore a hole in the hose *and* tank, so I removed both. It doesn't seem like it would be overly difficult to re-plumb with a smaller-diameter hose; I suggest a smaller diameter so it's more out of the way.
