Old Brake Fluid

Posted by JWL On 2010/9/4 16:54:17

I collect the fluid, from bleeding the brake systems on my Packards in a plastic spray bottle, and use it as a tire and rubber dressing. This is the DOT3 type, don't know how the 4 and 5 types would work. The fluid dresses the rubber nicely leaving a nice black natural looking appearance. Solves the problem of how to dispose of old brake fluid, and I don't need to buy the expensive tire dressings. Anyone else do this?

P.S. Of course I need to be careful and not get any of the fluid on painted surfaces.
