Belated thanks to all who offered advice.
When I get the reservoir empty, should I refill it with straight
window washer fluid, or dilute with water, and if so, how much.
Should I fill until it shows up at the mouth of the reservoir, or...?
I realize directions will be (might be?) on the jug, but if
anybody has countervailing advice, I'd appreciate it.
