What does a WWF system check valve look like?

[Shaman]

I am trying to do some work on my system, because I am having some leaking. Can anyone help me locate the one-way check valve, or tell me a way around it?

Sorry, I didn’t define WWF. Windshield wiper fluid.

Can you expand on your question? Do you mean the little valve that sits inline behind the nozzle? Locate it on your car?

I ripped a tank and pump from a car in a junkyard, and some Y’s and stuff, but I can’t find the check valve. I just want to know what it I that I should be looking for, like shape, or anything. I will go back this weekend or next, and see what they have.

You can get by without it, with straight pipe, but it will take a second for the pump to purge the air before fluid starts spraying.

May be integral to the pump itself.

I know I can survive without one, but I would prefer to have one, considering the distance the fluid will have to travel.

Wonder if the fish/aquarium stores have something that will work.
