Smelly Wiper Fluid

I don’t own an Element, but If I did, I’d open the hood and look at the fluid reservoir. Can you see how it is attached? Does it look like there is room to get at it without disassembling the car? And you do not have to remove it to drain it. Get a 5-foot length of rubber or Tygon tubing and a couple of empty milk jugs (if you need more than one). Stick one end of the tube into the reservoir and suck on the other end until it is at least half full. You might want to get a siphoning device if you want to be absolutely certain that you can’t suck the washer fluid into your mouth. Then pinch the tube to hold the pressure and put the free end into the milk jug. You should be able to empty the reservoir, mostly. You can fill it half way with water and repeat the siphon. Do it another time if you like. Then fill it with whatever fluid you like. Since it’s summer, why not just use water and see how your Element smells after you wash the windows?
