 |
|
I received a quart of Royco Brake Fluid recently. It's the high temp mil-spec stuff and comes in a metal can. I understand that it doesn't take a whole lot of fluid to top off -10 brakes. So the question is... What to do with the leftover fluid once the can is opened?
1) Toss it (I hate this one)
2) Save in another container of some sort. Plastic? Maybe that would break down (no pun intended)? Glass?
3) Seal it up in a zip-lock and try not to dump it. Ugh.
4) Something else?
Thanks for any thoughts on this one.
Regards,
Jay

I think it would store fine in a nice poly bottle.
I had a leftover bottle from some of the standard
fluid that I emptied and I put it in that.
Worst case, I'm sure it would be ok in a standard
oil bottle....so you could completely drain and
drip out a quart of ATF and put it in there,
but you'd want to label it well.

When I opened mine, I did it with a two screws that I could put a gasket on and reinsert in to the openings.
I kept it - glad I did as I recently replaced the brake fluid (three years service) and used the 'fresh' stuff I had kept.

Just take an empty oil bottle, flush it with some mineral spirits and
drain thoroughly, re-label and add your brake fluid.
