Tim Bancroft Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Def, do not run with silicon fluid, boils far too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 That's a new one on me!!!!! Are you sure? A chunk of my upgrading involves changing all the seals to facilitate a move to silicone fluid!What to do now? Perhaps go ahead with the planned seal/cylinder changes, fill with dot 4 fluid, then flush and refil with silicone upon return?Advice welcome!

Beans Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I did use silicon brake fluid on 't Kreng for it's first few years after it's rebuilt, can only say don't use it. Use a good quality DOT4 or DOT 5.1 instead and change approx. once a year to avoid moisture getting in. Silicon gives a rather nasty vague feeling in the pedal.
