Please forgive me if my ignorance is showing, but after my brake bleeding problems of last week I am left with several jars of used brake fluid. In fact, I have a couple of other jars full from previ

Call your nearest garage or re-cycling center. Might cost a few bucks but is definitely the thing to do. That stuff is toxic to the environment. Cheers. Art Kelly

You stated that brake fluid is toxic to the environment? What exactly is in it that is so toxic? John.

in John, man-made chemicals are not natural and so most do not belong in the natural environment. Oil and petroleum distillates, one of which is brake fluid, are harmful to animals and humans. That i

I believe that (standard DOT 3-4) fluid is mainly Ethelyne Glycol, or antifreeze, so follow similar disposal routines. Even Silicone is not petrolium based. As always, Brian --

Took up with a young thing long time ago, she had been chemically dependent, recycled a few times and used a few times, but, once you got past that used part it was just plain hell for about 2 years,

Hey guys, I didn't mean to start anything here. That is not exactly what I said. If someone knows more than I -- give us the straight info. Simply put, however, I don't think that it helps the enviro

The whole issue of 'natural' vs 'man-made' seems a little silly anyway. How is a beaver dam any more 'natural' than a man-made dam ? If man is 'unnatural', perhaps we all should lay down and die to r

It's a glycol, but not Ethylene glycol. I've found references claiming it's Propylene glycol (which I doubt), Polyalkylene Glycol Ether, and Hexylene Glycol aka 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol . All of the

At the risk of starting something I feel that I must point out that conventional antifreeze (ethylene glycol I think) is toxic. At least to household pets. Dogs and cats love to drink the stuff and i

Absolutely. I didn't mean to imply different. Drinking ethylene glycol will destroy your kidneys. Dogs, cats and rug rats are particularly susceptible. By "not very toxic" I meant only that the LD50
