Notes On Brake Fluid
- Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the vehicle paintwork as it contains elements which act as solvents on the paintwork. If, in spite of taking appropriate care, brake fluid does come into contact with the paintwork, the affected surface must immediately be rinsed with copious amounts of water (do not rub off brake fluid).
- Brake fluid is highly hygroscopic, i.e., it absorbs humidity, whereby the boiling point is lowered. For this reason the brake fluid should only be stored in enclosed, well sealed tanks (original container).
- Used brake fluid may not be used again.
- Brake fluid is colorless to yellow colored and is therefore easily confused with mineral oil products. Brake fluid must therefore always be taken only from original containers and stored separately from mineral oil and other fluids.
