Also be aware that the BTV requires periodic proper service and maintenance by a qualified BTV service provider. The current claim (anyone please correct me if i am wrong) is:

To drain and flush ENTIRE brake system every 6 months to 3 years max. AND to have the BTV unit completely rebuilt by a qualified experienced BTV service provider every 3 years to 5 years.

Note however that there is NO OFFICIAL PACKARD Motor Car Company documentation to support the currently accepted maintenance schedule as listed above.

Look thru the BTV topics and u will find the above periodic service recommendation indicated.
