    My 2001 2wd excab tacoma won't pump washer fluid. The reservoir does not leak and the pump and sprayers work. However, the tubes carrying the fluid to the sprayers have holes. Are these tubes that I can get at a hardware store or do I need to buy special "automotive" tubes?

    Just remove one hose, measure how many feet of hose you need and take it to any auto parts store. They should sell it by the foot.

    if you have trouble finding the right size you can use the clear hoses used for aquarium air pumps. there is nothing that needs to be special about it, its just a plain rubber hose.

    Ace hardware has fair selection of cut to length hoses. Probly not the same black kind. Probably clear for the smaller sizes. But probably a lot cheaper than an auto parts store. Besides I think auto stores only carry vacuum and fuel line. Which would work too but it's a bit heavier and bulkier than what you need, but also would look better than clear stuff. I would look on eBay. Have to wait but I bet you'd find what you need, cheap.
