Randall, this seems to conflict with what I have heard on other lists.
While DOT 5 is not water soluble, and will not absorb water like the other
fluids, any water that accumulates in the MC and makes it's way to the brake
lines
can linger there a separate bubbles of water and rust the components from the
inside out.
Is there evidence to the contrary that I have missed?
