What to Do If a Small Amount of Windshield Washer Fluid is Accidentally Added to Brake Fluid?
1 Answers
The solution to accidentally adding a small amount of windshield washer fluid to brake fluid is to replace all the brake fluid and clean the pipelines. If not replaced promptly, it can cause air resistance and brake failure. Brake fluid, generally referring to hydraulic brake fluid, is the liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in hydraulic braking systems, used in vehicles equipped with hydraulic braking systems. Brake fluid is an indispensable part of the braking system, serving as a force-transmitting medium within the system. Since liquids are incompressible, the pressure output from the master cylinder is directly transmitted to the wheel cylinders via the brake fluid. The performance requirements for brake fluid are: 1. Good viscosity-temperature characteristics, low freezing point, and excellent low-temperature fluidity; 2. High boiling point, preventing vapor lock at high temperatures; 3. Minimal quality changes during use, without causing corrosion or deterioration of metal and rubber components.
