Looking for larger washer fluid tank

Years ago the Honda Parts Now website would let me look at part details for all the parts on the screen. Nowadays, the site knows which parts are for a car in your region. I think it may even be doing this by computer IP address. It will not let me see part numbers for other parts on the screen. I tried different tricks like Japanese VIN's and Canada VIN's, etc...

So, years ago I believe I had found out that the non USDM washer fluid tanks are much larger than ours. I believe they hold more than a gallon, compared to our little 2.5 liter tanks we have here in the USA.

Can someone outside the USA or someone who is feeling more tech savvy, locate the part number for the larger tank? I know this would take the tank, neck, bushing, and maybe even more parts.. I also know it's a very odd modification, but it's also extremely convenient to hold 40% more fluid.

Notice Part 17 does not have the square round it, this means I cannot click on it or see it in the list below.



Thanks!

Never really inspected the windshield washer tank closely enough to see if this looks like it'd fit, but maybe this will start your search off: https://autoparts.beforward.jp/detai...ks/PA06461069/

In the winter, I usually have an old water bottle that I fill with washer fluid near the spare tire cavity as a backup.

The US part is 76841-T5R-A01... TR5 seems to be a code for the model. When I ask google for 76841--A01, it gives me different three digit codes and all turn out to be Honda washer tanks for different models. Anyone know where to find a list of model codes? I'm guessing the Jazz has a different model code.

The manual for my Canadian 2018 Fit says:

US washer tank 2.6 US qt (2.5 L)
Canadian washer tank 4.2 US qt (4.0 L)

That's for 2018 and I don't know if the difference existed before that year. I have no way of knowing what the part number is for the Canadian tank though. Incidentally I'm guessing that the larger tank for Canada is required because of our sloppy winters and as such is fairly unique, and would not be needed for say Asian models or Mexican cars and the like.

Didn't think to check our brothers above the US!

That is awesome digging guys!! I went to eBay Cananda at first because I remembered that years ago it was a Canadian mode. I took VIN's off of Canadian Fit's and put them into "parts now" and still I had not luck. This is awesome that it works through the Toronto site!

Good idea to move the extra to a smaller container... Some of my trips have the car packed full enough that I simply don't like dealing with a random half gallon. I know it seems petty, but also it just seems like a cool modification for a highway warrior.. LOL.

Get a used tank from a canadian junk yard.

The 2.5L tank is the bean counters at work to save a few pennies.

They sell windshield washer in a gallon container. Yet, you cannot put all the container in the washer fluid tank. You're left with 1/3 of a gallon each time you fill up.

$120 plus shipping!!! I'll struggle along with 2.5L. The other tank, #16, isn't listed. The US tank ,#16, lists for $41.

Some one with some fiberglassing skill could make one. Not me, though.

Yeah but I assume that's C$ 120 which is about US$ 90. Still expensive though with shipping.

$15 would be more appropriate.

Some choices on Amazon, but I didn't look for the 2015 Fit.
