This morning my wife goes out to take our granddaughter to school and from the Yukon texts me asking if we have any wiper fluid. I open the garage and grab a half full bottle of Peak Summer blend off the shelf and start pouring it in. A big black gob came out! I stopped immediately and looked into the bottle and saw more large black gelatinous globs floating at the bottom! It's like one of those lava lamps! "Never have I ever..." What is this? I told her not to use it and I'll try to suck it out with my little HF transfer pump. I really don't want to pull that reservoir in the rain. It's no fun. Anyone ever seen this before?

Yeah I called it alien spores and told my wife and grandson they HAD to come see it. My grandson was saying "It's not going to latch onto my face is it?" I totally believe it's plant spores mutating into mold. I pumped the reservoir and I believe I got the nasty stuff out. Looks like about the same sized glurp that went in came out. I then put distilled water in it and pumped that twice. Ran the pump dry on the last rinse. Laying under the tank with a LED flashlight on the side of the tank showed me the shadowy areas I needed to direct my suction pick up tube to. Then ran to local ACE Hardware and bought a gallon of Rain Ex washer fluid to at least have something in it. Reading the label on the Rain Ex it says "Contains Surfactants" That's what I spray on my weeds! I'm about to start making my own washer fluid! What a morning!20230503_112706.jpg
