I am calling again for reports form Packard drivers who have had BTV units fail when driving. I would like to inspect these units to determine the reason for failure.

Thus far I have received only one such unit which had recently been rebuilt by Ed Strain of Fla, a known rebuilder. He filled in the return channel for fluid with silicone sealer and it was just a matter of time before it was depleted of all fluid and the brakes failed.

This is not a design or performance failure of a BTV, it was that the rebuilder did not understand how the unit functioned and he thought he know better.
