Why are you doing this? If the tank is leaking there is a program to replace under warranty.

I don't/won't use it, it's unnecessary weight.

If I'm not ever gonna use it, why not??
It's probably 12+ lbs. off the front. A little here and there adds up.

But I believe you might be causing issues removing the washer fluid housing as it's vital to the balance of the car. You may find yourself oversteering and also need to get the front end realigned. They may void the warranty too.

OP is just looking on how to take it out, as in his mind is made up. Any weight savings 'could' potentially help out. At the very least we would all know the exact weight savings if we were to remove this tank. And if it did cause any steering issues do to weight imbalance.

I'm sure all this razzing is in good humor.

Yeah! Most of you guys weigh too much anyway. Go on a diet. I go to cars and coffee and most of the drivers I see there could stand to lose 30 or more pounds. Just kidding. Relax.
