Racer Robb:
I went to the URL you listed and read what it had to say about the
"compressibility" of brake fluid. As I suspected it was talking about
the compressibility of the fluid after it reaches it's boiling point, hence
introducing gas (which is compressible) into the fluid. It went on to say
that with silicone fluids it is hard to deliver the fluid into the system
without introducing air bubbles at the same time, once again adding
to the compressibility of the fluid. My point earlier was that the fluid, be
it glycol based or silicone based is not compressible in its fluid state, only
when it has boiled or had some form of gas introduced into it.
