Dual tank for both two-stroke AND washer fluid?

I would like to install a Sohn OMP adapter, but really needs the washerfluid as well. Have searched the web, but probably searching for the wrong words

Does it exist a splitted tank, that is housing both?

If not, has anyone seen a good solution for fitting an extra tank?

you can use a smaller battery and install the 2stroke reservoir there:

Some uses oil catch can for it. Or you could maybe get some smaller washer fluid container off ebay and rewire it to the stock washer fluid low warning light. You need to position it as high as possible.

Problem is that I'm living i Norway, and it can get quite cold. -20 to -25°C(-13°F) is possible, so I don't think a smaller battery have enough juice at those conditions.

They sell over here Universal Fluid tanks that could also be used for the two-stroke. I was going to relocate my oil filter in the space next to the tank but lost interest in doing so. The tank isn't anything special so you should be able to find it.

As good as the ER30 is I'd recommend caution for -20 degF below usage
