LOL! That's how it is on my '43 GPW. Also, no computers, no power
steering, no AC, no top, no heater, no power brakes, everything skid
plated, steel seats ...

As I see it, you have 3 options:

1. Replace the bottle

2. Replace the bottle with something that fits in that space like a
milk jug or WWAF jug.

3. Or you could remove the bottle, find the crack and repair it with
plastic epoxy. I did this on my leaky reservoir for the cooling
system. The local parts store didn't think they had anything that
would fix it. I picked up some plastic epoxy at CTC and followed the
instructions. It still doesn't leak a drop after 2 years. If you want
to give it a try, the product is made by Permatex and it is named
Permapoxy 5minute plastic weld. I don't want to get your hopes up. I
certainly won't guarantee the results, but if you want to gamble about
$7 it might be worth a try. If you decide to try it, let me know and I
will give you detailed instructions on how I used it to solve my
problem. I was truly amazed by the results!

The epoxy idea sounds good to me, got nothing to lose. Please send me
the instructions. Thanks.
