I was somewhat taken back when I read this in a local newspaper in Spain referring to a guy located on the Rock.

Re: Legionella from your screen wash
Yup more likely in hotter countries but I've had various 'orrible bugs grow in screenwash over the years. The Lada was the worst, I ended up throwing the pipes & jets away & using a strong solution of Miltons steriliser through the rest of it. It not only stank of stale vomit but blocked the jets regularly.

Re: Legionella from your screen wash
So what's all the black 'film' that appears in washer fluid bottles over the years?
