Default ic water spray

hey guys/galz

my car came stock with an ic water spray system, but the bottle is in the boot behind the guard with only the opening visable, so i have to guess when its full.

so my idea is to rig up an autometer fuel level gauge to it therefor i can see how full it is.

is this possable?

Should have an indicator light on the dash when it is low. When you see that, turn it off until you have a chance to fill it.

In my car (02 STi) it has a display on the dash 'I/C Water Spray' when it's running low. You generally get a warning when it's low-ish and you corner hard before it gets stupidly low.

take the plunge and put in measured amounts of 0.5L, till you get a little spillage, then you'll know.

omg. you can tell when its full by watching/hearing the water flow into the bottle
stop being such a noob to find an excuse to fit a water gauge to your car

why not make a sight glass on the side?
tap one hole at the top (2cm from top) and one at the bottom (2 cm from bottom), put a plastic tubing between the two and instant vision
a gauge will use the same principle
