Hi everyone.
Since I've never used windshield washer liquid in my whole life (I drive mainly around city where isn't neither dust nor bugs) I've come up with an idea.
If I empty the windshield washer fluid reservoir I'd cut 5 kg of weight off of my car, thus reducing the fuel consumption.
I just wanted to know if I have to keep liquid inside the reservoir in order to avoid damage to the pump or the reservoir itself or if I just can empty it without worrying.
It may be sound dumb but is a real question I have since I'm hypermilling
