Here is a message on the brake fluid issue from Bill Holden that is self
explanatory.
Larry P - I just found out something screwy is happening in my internet
galaxy where the Tiger list autodomo bounced my message as a "non-member".
(I didn't receive my copy from list and am sure you didn't either)
A favor please. Could you pass/post the following to the list as I found the
article very informative and relating to Marks inquiry? Check out the
Phoenix Systems site too. Thanks for any help, Bill

Al Johnson is pretty much correct. I would add there is a serious need to
clean & purge old (DOT 3 or 4) brake residue from existing system before
filling with DOT5.
