Thanks for the time, effort, and expense expended on behalf of all Packard owners with cars that have the BTV brake system...(James too). I would change to silicone B/F but am unsure what kind of solvent I would use to flush Dot 3 fluid out? Also with a current BTV system in my 1953, 2662 there has been no signs/symptoms of failure....but.... If brake fluid is in the vacuum chamber and it is not changed what then? I know my BTV has worked for the last 14 years, and the fluid changed when hoses, wheel cyls, lines and brakes were changed/repaired at least 2 times. What do you suggest?
Thanks
Steve
