No.  I just opened up the bleeders and poured it through and blew it  out
with compressed air.  No problerms.

FoT,

I'm  considering building a tool that will flush oil lines, brake lines  and
fuel lines while left in the car.

This can be accomplished  with a harbor freight parts washer and some
adapter
fittings, hoses and  filters.

The part I'm hung up on is the solvent used. My first  thought was denatured
alcohol because with compressed air

used  after the flushing any residue would easily evaporate. Two things
came
up, flash point and erosion of rubber lines.

If anybody has  any thoughts on such a tool that won't blow up, eat rubber
lines and  won't leave residue please jump in.



as  always,



jim  g
