It's not a good idea to reuse any brake fluid. Regular fluid stored in an
open bottle will absorb water. Silicone fluid holds itty-bitty (technical
term) bubbles of air for a very long time, so when it gets pumped out of the
system, say from bleeding, it should not be reused, or you will be bleeding
until the cows come home. (Did anybody see those cows?)
I really missed the brake fluid thread (sorry Jay)! Thanks, Hans!
