Mike makes sense on this to me. Since water is the basic culprit in failure
of brake lines, it just doesnt make sense to add a water-based, liquid with a
high concentration of water to the system. Maybe try a 190 proof grain which
has only 5% water--but then you would have to refrain from drinking it <G>
and it is expensive for this purpose.
