![]() It says Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. At this point I do not have anything else to say on this subject, believe what you want and I'll keep it that way.īTW Ted your link to Bendix fell flat on my computer. ![]() I have been a mechanic for a long time, and have through GM for auto and the FAA for diesels and gas engines and for several years worked on the side after not liking how the Dealers handle people and what they charge for the work and try to get me to lie about repairs done. Do you have seals on your wheel cylinders? Calipers pistons? Cap on master cylinder? Master cylinder have seals on it plunger? Some vehicles like 911 Porsche even have vent lines on their master cylinders for certain years. How do you think the manufacturer of vehicles had to combat this rusting they sprayed with a liner (some called it a anti-corrosion barrier) until the steel plants changed their refining processes to help alleviate this, but not stop it completely. But by what you are thinking that water cannot penetrate steel, think about the whole of your car, does water come in contact with it? Does your car rust, how does this happen? The water that hits your car heats ups and evaporates right? It changes in to vapor (some would call it a conversion to steam but for here it changes to microscopic form and very easily your steel metal and causes over time oxidation and rust begins to form. Steel does do better than rubber brake lines. If you do purchase a brake fluid tester buy one that can check DOT3, DOT4, DOT5.1 or you can but the best method but more expensive PH test strips for brake fluid.įor those who do not believe water can only enter through the master cylinder need to understand that not all metals can block microscopic items, one being water. But when in time is it safe to replace it. Yes you can change it way earlier if you choose so. It measures the percentage of water in the system (or at the reservoir), and that is the best method for verifying when it is time to replace the fluid. He really should be looking to purchase a inexpensive brake fluid tester. I've had to replace to many brake lines in my past on other peoples vehicles to understand this. ![]() Also the water in the brake lines will cause the brake lines to corrode from the inside out. The water gets into the brake lines and calipers or wheel cylinder and as you drive and brake it, then after some driving it becomes hot and turns into a vapor, which vapor cannot be compressed to the amount for safe braking in a vehicle, this will leave your brakes spongy to stop by. Steel lines made anywhere are not 100% sealed, It would have to be lined to block this abortion. As water evaporates into steam and becomes humidity, and all the water you drive through lands on the braking systems steel lines/fittings brake hose and caliper it can be absorbed into the brake fluid. Water enters the fluid as it is hygroscopic. Click to expand.No, it is based off contamination of water.
