Hi All,
I suggest a compromise - reusing new fluid which just has come out of the
bleed valve maybe used, if well filtered.
I have used a coffee filter (gets really slow after a while) when the
emptied system was refilled after complete renewal of master cylinders (both
brakes & clutch) and slave cylinders (brake and restored clutch slave). All
hydraulic lines were thoroughly cleaned, when these were loose while the car
was resprayed.
All lines were cleaned with white spirit.
I felt quite comfortable reusing the fluid when filtered....
Cheers,
Hans
