Ever wonder what 30+ year old brake fluid looks like?

Wonder no more! With this much rust, I’m kinda worried about the int egrity of the lines now. Should be fine right?

you should really change the lines. Did you see what mine looked like?!

Egads! I hope you didn’t dispose of it yet. Let it sit for a day or two, then take some pics of the separation before slowly pouring the fluid out. I’d love to see how much sediment is left after that.

Will do. It had an inch of what I presume is water on top, just a minute or so of transfering it into this bottle . Or maybe that is some of the new brake fluid? It’s a different viscosity (thinner).

Everything! Literally everything. Still had bias- ply tires from the 70's. It sat untouched for 15 years until this summer . Very limited use the decade and a half before that. Maybe 1,000 miles tops.

Updated pic. There’s a 1/4 inch of rust particles accumulated at the bottom.
