Steve, Bob, and List, Oh, hell -- it's just me shooting my mouth off without thnking too hard about it. I suppose one of the definitions of "fluid" is something incompressible. I must have read someo

Yes, now that you mention it, that does ring a bell. I believe the early DOT 5 fluids would not swell the rubber at all and had leakage problems. I remember someone (Tom?) suggesting soaking the sea

Tiger Tom has been doing a long term test of seals in various types of fluids. He is not yet through, but it appears the rumors of US Brake fluid causing the seals to swell may be incorrect. His stud

Yes, that was me, the other Tom with Tigers. I don't really remember precisely which brake fluid I used to swell the seals, but it's a good bet that it was Castrol. I discovered this effect quite by

I can resemble that comment. I believe the sponginess comes from the presence of very small air bubbles in the system. Another possibility is that old hydraulic line may tend to expand under pressure

Ray, I think the words 'synthetic' tell the story. Not that I believe silicon is bad, but I think there is a tale about having to 'swell' the Girling seals with regular LMA, so they will seat, then d
