[Shotimes] electronic brake bleeder

[Christian Andretta]

I have used just about 1 large ATE can ( I think they are a liter) to flush
the entire system.   I like the ATE fluid because I can alternate color and
know when the new fluid has filled the line and the caliper.  The cans can
be purchased for 8 bucks a piece at a discount; I figure with all of the
other stuff I waste money on paying three dollars more for a liter of brake
fluid is nothing.

Okay, I just ordered a pressure bleeder.  Gonna be "Bleedin' Brakes R Us"
around here soon.

If I buy brake fluid in the larger bottles, how many does it take to do one
car?  To do the whole fleet, I should probably buy a case anyway...

Thanks for the advice.

Don't think the unit can replicate someone pumping the brake pedal for a
flush!!

Once I go the vacuum bleeder a few years ago, I couldn't believe that I
waited that long before getting away from the two-person-pump-the-pedal
operation, and the pressure bleeder works better yet....and doesn't need a
compressor.

OTOH, It appears that the abs pump could be left running for awhile, with
the solenoids open, and it would move fluid through the system.....sorta
making an automated bleeding process. Wonder if the abs pump is up for
running for an extended period.
