Skye,
That horrid stuff (DOT 3 & 4) is so inexpensive; why would any intelligent
person want to take a chance?
The definition of re-use is " to use again". Once the brake fluid leaves its
original container it is used. If it is introduced into any other application .
. . IT IS RE-USED!!!!!!!
Period.
