You might want to look into the use of silicone brake fluid in a TreadleVac. One well-known and long-established rebuilder (since retired) of them strongly recommended against it, actually went so far as to say its use would invalidate his warranty. I have no insight into his basis for that, but I and most of my friends with TreadleVacs used DOT 4, many years of trouble-free service. I'd be particularly swayed by an opinion one way or the other by Ross Miller.
