 Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 7:27 am Post subject: Initial Brake Fluid Qty |
 |
|
Getting close to filling up the brake lines. Going to place an order
and was wondering how much fluid it takes to initially fill the lines.
Want to order enough for that and some spare.
Thanks,

not much at all. I bought a small bottle from AS and still had 1/2 of the
fluid left when I filled it all and one side that had an air pocket, twice.

I filled my brakes a few months ago. It took about a quart, spills and all.

The small 4 oz bottle from Aircraft Spruce "should be enough"... depending on how much you spill. Also, you might need a little more in your pump/bleeder (whatever you use to pump it up from the bottom). Do you have a friend that already has a pump setup? If so, borrow his and replace what you use with the 4 oz bottle. Otherwise, get more and look for a pump system.

Actually, 10 oz might be right. Looking back, my container from Spruce was 16 oz, not 4 oz.

Figure a pint bottle as a minimum, to allow for spillage, and to have some to top off when the pads wear and more fluid is needed in the calipers.
Think seriously about getting the high temp, fire resistant fluid. MIL-PRF-83282D
available http://www.skygeek.com/royco-782-synthetic-fire-resistant-hydraulic-fluid.html
and elsewhere, but I think 1 Qt is about the minimum you will find.

Thanks everyone. I ordered the quart of high temp from SkyGeek along
with mineral oil and some dehydrator plugs.
