Are the headlight jets on a 9000 lower than the reservoir? If they are, then it probably relies on the fact that the valves need a bit of forward pressure to open, so the water doesn't just syphon out of the jets. Since I've never seen a 9000 close-up, this could all be ollbox of course... Cheers, Colin.
